Specs are in the sig.

Everything is plugged in correctly, and when I turn on the PSU switch, the motherboard light appears.

I've tried using only one module of ram, and I've tried turning it on without the video card.

Please help me.

Is the monitor plugged in correctly?

Does anything appear on-screen?

What motherbaord is this?

Does it have error lights?

If it does did you look up the error in the manual?

Could you take pictures?

The computer is "turning on" in the sense that it's recieving power.

Check that the 24 pin motherboard power connector is plugged in properly.

Check that the GPU is in the right PCIx16 slot, in the 680i I belive there's three, and only one will work for a single card solution.

Check the manual on that one.

Absolutely nothing is happening when I turn it on. I only see two lights on my motherboard.

everything is plugged in properly and the GPU is in the proper PCI-E x16 slot.

-.-....

Something is happening if lights appear on your motherboard.

Did you look in the manual to see what those lights mean.

What is printed on the PCB right next to them?

1-2-3-4?

No, because the motherboard had a light on. It works now, so it's all good. :D

Yeah, I had the same thing when I got mine. All you have to do to get rid of that message is go into the BIOS and find A drive or something like that and disable it.

Go into the BIOS (press the indicated key on startup, probably DEL nowadays)

Go to boot order and disable Floppy Drive A:\ but leave CD before hard drive so you can boot to the OS disk that you are installing.

Yeah, I already put CD before HDD, and I'm installing Windows right now. Thanks for all your help. :D
