My motherboard (msi z77 mpower) does not show any signs of recieving power when connected. The power LED will only go on when the button on the motherboard or the case power button is pressed. None of the fans or seperate components start working, and neither the temperature LED lights nor any other LEDs light up. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I'm very thankful for any tips.
 
Solution
Check the connections (plugs from the front panel to the mobo pin connectors and make sure they are oriented correctly (pos to Pos, Ground to Ground)
