might as well post in here to keep the place tidy 
ok well the board arrived today, i've got it all installed, however when i turn the power on and press the start button, all the fans spin up and spin happerly, all the lights on the board and the power light on the front come on, however it doesnt boot, it also sounds like its trying to read from the dvd drive instead of the hard drive, so i unpluged the dvd drive and it sounds like i get a couple of clicks from the hard drive then nothing ... and the Hard drive light on the front doesnt come on either ... it also turns itself off then on again after about 20/30 secs ... i'd take it to the computer shop but their closed now
