Q: I have compiled a new computer and it shows no signs of life at all when I hit the switch. Ive fiddled with the power switch connector and I am positive that the right way. I think the motherboard may be the merits of the case. Any other ideas? It is a 512 + with Epox 8RDA crucial 2400 +, Radeon 9500, etc. Thanks.
Re:Who is this MechBgon guy. He thinks he knows what he is talking about.
j/k Mech. Just thought I would give yeah a holla. Good find Mech.

Re:Sure thing
That extra-springy I/O shield was probably the low point of my 8RDA+ installation, LOL…
BTW, here is the reason I mentioned the USB3 header: Pin #10 is hot (http://{$MySite}/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=964125)
Re:Hah – you called it
It was grounding out on the IO shield. I think I'm just going to cut off all of those damn springy things…
Thanks for the help.
Re:Hmm yeah, sounds like it needs to come out of the case then
Good luck, and keep an eye on those springy things on the I/O panel, maybe they're getting into your USB or LAN jacks or something?Re:I pulled out my USB3 header and I've been using the screwdriver trick on it. Still no activity.
Re:If you plugged any front-USB-port wiring into the USB3 header on the motherboard, unplug that and see if the board starts up now. If that doesn't fly, try touching the Power Button pins on the mobo with a metal object to make a momentary connection, and see if it works then.
