So, I picked up an Antec 300 case.
I got everything in it already, and now I'm trying to power up, and all I get is CPU fan spins, and case lights light up, but mobo won't go into BIOS.
I also tried just one memory stick, video card only and still no BIOS.
Everything worked fine in my old case.
This is becoming a nightmare.
Need assistance please.

You reallyneed to post up some System Spec,s ect too. So as we can be of more assistance.

First off Check you connections on the Motherboard header for the correct polarity of the power sw and reset sw also the power led,s and hdd led

Also check the I/O plate tags are not shorting out any usb ports,

Motherboard not shorting out on base ect

Have you also got *4/8 pin Power connected correctly

Just rechecked the power, and reset switch.
They are in the proper place.

I also just took out, and then put back the CMOS battery.

Did any of it work before you installed it?

you're saying nothing appeared on the screen yeh?
on LCDs it's usually yellow when the screen is on standby, and green when it is active.
does it stay yellow? (the little power light).

this could be either your video card or your monitor cable?
have you connected the 6 pin power cable to your video card?
post some specs for your sig

I took out the video card, then put it back in again, still no go.
If I had an extra PCI video card I could try that but I no longer have one.

Found an old PCI video card, and it's working now.
Thing is, what the heck happened to my Biostar HD4650.
All I did was take it out and set it down, very carefully too.
