This was a step beyond my previous forays inside the computer. I have changed out memory many times. I don't know if I'm missing something simple and obvious or if it's worse than that.
Case: Cooler Master HAF 922
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: ASUS P8H67-M EVO
I was having overheating issues and replaced the CPU cooler. When I turn on the power, the motherboard standby power LED comes on, plus two other LEDs, so that should mean the motherboard is getting power(?)
When I push the power that usually boots up the computer, nothing happens. I have checked all the connections I could find.
What I removed during the cooler installation:
PWR_FAN
CHA_FAN1
CPU_FAN
Network card
Audio card
The most obvious-looking place for an error is the PWR_FAN, but I've checked it several times. Black wire to ground.
One possibility haunts, which is maybe I put the CPU in upside down. I don't think so, but I can't be certain. Would that account for it not starting? I don't want to pull of the new CPU cooler if I don't have to, but it's the only thing I can think of to check.
Thanks for any suggestions!
