	Do you know what BIOS revision is currently installed on your motherboard? Needs to be 3.30 or newer (pretty good chance it's newer, but you never know) Have you tried removing everything from the case and set up on a non-conductive surface with just essential items ..ie PSU, CPU/cooler, GPU, and memory installed in slots A2/B2 or just one stick in A2...?

	..of course make sure all your power connectors are securely plugged in .. maybe even try a different PSU if you have one available..

	Make sure the clear CMOS jumper isn't bridged, or shorted (under the board). As ThreeDee suggested, try setting up the system outside the case with just the basics, CPU, one RAM module, GPU and PSU.

	tested with clear CMOS, no jumper is bridge, tried outside, cpu, one ram modul, and PSU, still no result, with GPU, still no result ;( but that boards keeps glowing red, so im quite doubtful that this is the problem.

	I know this is probably a silly question but are you sure you are using the correct header for the power switch?

	its okay, i have checked that manual tons of times, looking for another spot... but no, im using the corecct spot. first two pins are power led, followed by power switch, next row, hdd led, followed by reset(which is not used there as it is used in ADDR LED)
