try starting the machine up with everything out of the case...basically pull the board out and set it on a piece of cardboard then hook everything up...the board may be grounding on the case

but all the fans light up when i turn on the power. but i have noticed somthing, the aspire 600w power supply dosent have a 4 pin 12v connector, just an 8 pin 12v connector that they say doubles for a 4 pin, but because of the set up of transistors on the board the 8 pin wont fit. bottom line i havent connected the 4 pin motherboard powersupply. only the 20/24 pin atm main power. would that effect my mobo's ability to start the cmos

yeah, if your board has the 4 pin spot, but the psy doesnt have the 4 pin connecter it isn't gonna work no matter what you do

it turns out that the 8 pin was just 2 4pins so i was able to fix the problem and now the system goes to the CMOS with out incident. however now the comp dosent recognise the OEM 200gb sata maxtor hard drive. i have the sata cable connected to the drive and motherboard and i have the powercable connected from the PS to the Hard drive. any ideas?
