Did you accidentally short the back of the board out to the case when you installed or all the appropriate spacers in place?

i just hooked the led lights up to it there are no drives connected but i do have a constant green light so that shows there is power going to it right?

Doesn't mean that you didn't fry something though. Umm... if you think you were careful and didn't short something out, have you tried reseating the Kickstart chips? Those can settle in place and then when disturbed, cause a wonky connection.

Those are the only socketed chips, so other than that, maybe see if one of the surface mounted chips didn't accidentally pull a leg up if/when you twisted the mobo. Hope you have a magnifying glass or cheaters! lol

Oh and the drive cable could be inserted poorly too. VERY easy to do with floppies or hard drives. Check your IDE and floppy connectors!

well i just tryed pushing down on the roms and other sockets and now it is working many thanks guys now just to put everything together and hopeit does not encounter any more probs. thanks again

Glad pushing down on the chips worked, but is likely you'll experience that same problem later since you didn't fully remove them and re-insert. So, when it happens again - you'll know what to do
