did you fit the fibre washers between the mounting nuts & the mobo, before fitting the screws - and I agreed about not fitting too many mounting nuts to the case , as well, Saxodriver & Rough.D :)

That is what I am warning him about as I wrecked a motherboard once making the same mistake.

And it was only one capacitor but the whole mobo was wrecked.

Oh Right.
Sorry Saxo, didn`t get the drift mate.:)

Re: got a question

do you dare try to boot it out of the pc? place mobo on something safe ie mobo box,have ram cpu +fan plus gfx installed then just jump the power on pins with a screwdriver,if it posts this way it would be a grounding on the case.Have you tryed a different psu? there does appear to be the chance your mobo is fubared,lets hope not

Re: got a question

What little red rings, I have a concern they was just packaging, have you tried without.

Although i agree with zinglebarbs post try booting it out of the tower.

that's good - the only thing that can go wrong is they fall off when introducing the motherboard. I found it helped to put matchsticks in the mounting pins, fit the washers over the matchsticks, introduce the motherboard & then take each matchstick out, in turn, as you fit each screw. :)
