Hey there guys,
I just bought a new computer let me give you the specs here:

Intel e6600
Asus p5b-VM DO (intergrated gfx adapter)
2x Adata 512ddr2 pcm6400
Maxtor 250gb hd
Thermaltake Lanbox
Zalman 600watt (zm600-hp)

Well the problem i'm having is that when i try to boot my system, nothing happens really. Ocassionally the fans start turning for about 1 second when i hit the power button. The Motherboard LED is on. I figured that either the Zalman or Asus was dead on arrival. What do you guys think about this?

I tried to lift the motherboard off the spacers to see if there was some electrical problem there and tried replacing my proc.

do you have a speaker hooked up? do you even know if you have one?

and it's could be anything, proc, ram, video card, mobo. psu. the bios beeps would really help you out!
