Any POST?
If not unplug everything. Then try booting with only one stick of ram if you get a valid POST then add the other stick if any. Then plug one component at the time an try to boot.
Good luck.
Agree, seems like a RAM misplaced or defective !

unplug the PSU from wallpower and hold the power switch on the mobo for a few seconds.
then unplug the psu from the mobo and let it all sit for a few minutes then give it a try.

That capacitor on photo 3hn, just where the yellow wires come out of the black wrapping, is it still attached to the board? You did attach a power lead to the vid. card (assuming that it needs one)?

I can't be from the psu, psu's don't have capacitors sticking outside the casing. I was asking coz that c. is in a rather strange position, stressed by the yellow cable's wrap. If that is a red led burning, just above the blue "ultra" thingy, there is still power on the board (psu standby power?) I hope you did not change memory or vid.cards while this light was on, you might have had something shorted.

I had a similar issue once upon a time. Everything was working fine until I tied the cables back. Then wouldn't boot, just a quick spike of power, then nothing. I checked all the connections, they seemed connected, I swapped the PSU out and the new PSU worked fine. Gigabyte motherboards are pretty rock solid. My guess is that there is a lose wire somewhere in the PSU. Budget $20-30 Chinese PSUs don't last long, get a decent one if you plan to mine bitcoins. Also get a can of compressed air and blow that dust out of the CPU heatsink! It might be like that inside the GPU and PSU too which would explain your overheating issue! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

I made sure there was 0 power on board when I changed things (unplugged cable and waited a minute). And that capacitor is firmly attached to the psu cord. And it might be the psu, but I don't see how it could have shorted between me shutting down computer and unplugging it. (Remained unplugged entire time I was rue arranging wires)
