Hey guys, I am busy building a sleeper gaming pc and after install all of my components it didn't boot. I decided to switch to a lower power gpu (8800gt i believe) and went to 2 sticks of 1gb ram each. Even so the system is not booting or showing anything on my screen, nor does it beep for any code. The rest of the system is a tx650w psu and a q6600. Thanks in advance for the help!

Thought so too, considering it says "stbyled" which probably indicates standby led.

Don't understand those two parts. (didn't comment on GPU and ram choice, since you said you switched them out due to trouble shooting...)

Sleeper pc basicly means a powerful (gaming) pc in a simple chasis (in this case a dell one). Q6600 refers to the cpu.

I know that. But where do you get the idea that the Q6600 is a powerfull (gaming) pc. That's the part I don't understand.

It's not per say a poweful part, but will get the job done for this build considering it's supposed to be very cheap.

>>> It's just NOT a sleeper gaming pc. And calling it a sleeper gaming pc can hurt the people who have a real sleeper gaming pc.

Look, it doesn't matter what you think ubt it's not very helpful complaining about what anyone's idea about what a sleeper pc should be, since it doesn't contribute anything to the topic.
