OK, I could use your help.

I built the barebones computer found at this link

I substituted a 500W modular power supply (PSU) for the one that came with the computer case.

I installed the memory, then hooked up the computer. I turned it on.

The computer doesn't go into POST, etc. The computer is very silent.

I can see that the Power Supply is running. A back case fan & CPU fan are running.

But that's it! I have no idea what to do next.

Well, I do intend to take a nap.. maybe when I wake up someone will know what to do!

Thanks for your attempt to help. But it would have been easier if you took the time to read the product description.

Or I could have mentioned I have been building my own PCs for over 20 years.

I was just a bit stumped today.

The motherboard comes with onboard video, etc.

In the end, it appeared to be a faulty Power Supply (PSU).

Fortunately, I had another one.

Now all is working fine.

Again, thanks for the effort.

I could have posted more information myself... but I didn't want to risk posting Too Much Information.
