I just built this about six months ago, is it possible that the motherboard is bad already? Is there a way to check without taking the whole thing apart?
PLEASE HEEEEEELLLLLP!!!

couple things
turn everything off, including main power switch on PSU and then unplug hard drive from Mobo. Try starting it up without a hard drive connected and see if it will go into the setup program(F10 or F1 button usually. It says it on screen during bootup).
That will eliminate the hard drive and software possibilities.
another thing
turn everything off again, pull mobo battery(looks like a watch battery)
Then hit the reset button on the mobo. Sometimes it a jumper switch. This will reset all the CPU and memory speed settings in case something got messed up.
put battery back and plug everything in and try to start it up
