Hello everyone. I have a brand new computer which I just finished
putting together today.

I have finished putting it together, and I even checked all my
connections, maybe three times. But as soon as I go to turn it on,
there's nothing.

I have it all plugged in. I have checked my sockets and the surge
protector, and they all work. I go to plug in my computer, and turn it
on, and nothing happens.

Pushing the on button has absolutely no effect. I have made sure I'm on
110 volt, and I have reseated my video card and my ram. My power switch
is definitely connected, I tried that three times, and I have triple
checked all my power connections. I don't see what it could be.

Any requests for information you have will be answered immediately. I
really appreciate any help. I'm completely stumped on this one.

Can you read the PSU voltages with a volt meter?

Possibility of the motherboard shorting out to the case? I had that happen
once and the tech support from the vendor I got the board from, had me take
it out of the case and leave the RAM, processor and Video card only in and
try to power up. It worked. A few fiber washers solved the problem.

You should list all the stuff that made up your PC. Then we could be

I agree. The OP says two things, the PS does not work and checked,
re-checked, then checked everything again.

Not much to go on.
