those extra wires must be for the power led carefully check,and make sure they are before you plug them in for that.that wouldnt cause it not to work though.first trouble shooting step i would take is double check all your hardware to make sure its all seated properly,and that all power cables are securely attached.
Problem building my PC
Okay, so I have an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6300 and I'm using a Centurion Cooler Master case. I connected the POWER SW cable to the PW input, the RESET SW to the RES input, the H.D.D. LED cable to the HD input, and the SPEAKER cable to the SPEAK input (basically the cases cables to the F_PANEL). The are 2 single cables tied together. One has a + on it and the other has a - on it--I'm not sure where those go. Also, there is nothing in the PWR_LED input. I think I have everything else set up fine. It started for a couple seconds earlier, then it stopped.
Does anyone have any help they can offer? It would be much appreciated.
Oh, I'm sure I put the + side and the - sides on the right sides.
Thanks in advance.

I have to agree with pharoah this would not cause the computer not to post.
This problem may get more attention in the motherboards section of hardware, if you guys would like it moved let me know

If it would, please do.
I've checked, and everything seems to by fit in properly.. The PWR_LED input has 3 inputs, like I said, there are only 2 single cables, the + and the - attached together.

Of course pharoah and good job, I will now move it but continue to help out if you can

It won't even turn on.
ok try to clear the cmos with the jumper for that usually next to the battery.check your mother board manual to be sure
Maybe the power switch is bad or not connected right.
Try touching the 2 pins the case switch is suppose to connect to with a screw driver for a few seconds, if it starts the release.
Report back what happens.
You should also give us your full system specs, especially interested in the motherboard and psu

the easy way remove the little battery on the mother board for a couple minutes. also this may seem simple,but check and see if the power switch on the power supply itself is turned on
I know power is flowing through it because the case fan is moving when I plug it in.
I know to turn the switch on.

ok have you cleared the cmos,and did it do anything
I took the battery out for a while.. nothing happened. I tried a screw driver and saw little sparks and still nothing.
ok next step list your specs be specific
Sorry, I meant maybe the case switch is bad and try and touch the 2 pins the case switch connect too with a screw driverI know power is flowing through it because the case fan is moving when I plug it in.
I know to turn the switch on.

just copied this from the specs at newegg check,and see if your ram is correct at 1.8volts.if your ram has a higher voltage rating it may not post

Not sure how to check the volts, but it's 5-5-5-12.
