Refit the RAM(switch the sticks around) and also the processor if only RAM doesn't help.

You don't have proper earthing buddy. I think the components are already dead due to that :| . Try refitting the RAM in DIMM 2. Also check if the 12V CPU power supply cord is connected. (its above the CPU socket).

What you have done?
I would suggest you ro RMA the PSU at first and then think about other components.

@ cgowthamkumar - first make sure your house has proper earthing.

Next step : just take everything out of the cabby - place the mobo on a table - connect only the PSu, VGA cable and keyboard with it and try to start the pc by shorting the start header pins of the mobo using a screwdriver.

Forget the PC & Check Earthing of House. Family People can get a shock anywhere. Don't risk it.
