Computer not booting

Hi

Planned on changing out my motherboard (had some issues with the previous one), adding some ram and changing the boot drive.

Today I swapped out the motherboard and added the ram but I am now encountering a odd (at least to me) problem.

When I plug the computer in and press the power button, the computer clicks and the cpu fans spin for a fraction of a second, but the computer does not boot.

The computer continues this process "click + fans spin then stop" whilst the computer is connected to power.

The new mobo is an Asus z77 Pro

I really hope the mobo is not dead and thus is an issue I can resolve.

Any help /advice would be greatly appreciated.

WHY DONT YOU POST THIS IN THE TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION OF THE FOURM?

not to be mean or anything..

Ignore that

Did you follow the no post procedures at the top of the subfourm?

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

In your motherboard manual, it will have an article on it. There will either be a jumper or a button.

I followed the instructions (unplug, move jumper, Wat 15s, move jumper back) and am having the same issue as before.

Some more information.

When the machine us plugged in the power light is solid green.

When I hit the power button the cup and boot LEDs on the board flash red.

All computer fans flick on then off.

Hmmm... What does the manual say two red LEDs mean?

Update:

I have just realised that the port for the battery on the mobile is empty, is this the problem?
