I bought a brand new ASRock B75M-DGS to replace the mobo that was in my HP P6632f. Also new is the new power supply (Cooler Master 525W Extreme 2 v2.3), video card (GTX650) and CPU (i5 3570). After putting this thing together in my original case I could not get the thing to start. Nothing. No post, no beeps, a big fat nothing. After quadruple checking all wires and cables we’re fastened correctly in their right spots and ensuring there were no conflicts and ensuring the Power Supply was in fact working and had enough juice to deliver the goods, my brother and I determined that the issue was that the Power Switch was not working. We were not sure if it was the mobo or the wire from the switch. As the wires from front panel in the case came in one big cluster, we decided to break them up and try every combination (as they we’re not clearly marked). We decided to ignore the color codes out of pure frustration. So we tried every combination. The most we could get was HDD light and power light to come on, but the start button never worked. After many hours we threw in the towel and decided the mobo was DOA.
I brought it back to the store where they were able to start the mobo by shorting the Power Switch. I decided at this point that something was wrong with the HP case start button, even though it was working fine before the mobo switch. So I bought a new case (Fractal Design Core 1000).
After switching everything into the new case the same issue is occurring. I can turn the mobo on by shorting the PWR Switch on the mobo, but if I connect the case to it… nothing - actually not true... when I attach the PWR Switch to the mobo the HDD light goes solid red.
Oh and I will be going back to the store for more diagnostics (and probably a replacement) but I thought I'd reach out here first.
Any ideas?
