Hi Ted 

i have 2 slots on my

if your computer will not POST (display the Bios screen) several things need to be checked.

 

Are ALL electrical connections tight and guarded, particularly the main motherboard and CPU connector?

Is the Ram correctly seated and guarded?  Is the Ram certified for use in your motherboard?

Is the Graphics Card seated in the correct slot and guarded?

Are you certain the CPU is installed correctly?  No bent pins?

Does the power supply unit (PSU) power a case fan/HDD directly? If not the PSU is probably faulty.

There is a very slight chance you fried your new motherboard with a static discharge.Im my younger days it happened me a few times :blush: until i i got an anti staic wrist band.This was well over fifteen years ago not sure if modern parts are better protected.

I am a not so good to connect everything but i think i have do it right i have checkt on videos etc 

That motherboard has two power connectors. One 24 pin connector and one 8 pin connector. For the 8 pin connector, you may have to use two four pin connectors that come from the power supply. Make sure these are properly plugged in and seated.

Are you certain the MB supports the CPU?

yes i am

yes i am

 

What about the case front power switch?

Is that connected to the correct pins on the MB?
