Hello! I am a novice builder, this is my first build and I completed it maybe 4~ months ago.

Everything has been absolutely fine with the machine, no problems assembling, powering up, no performance issues. For about 4 months I've used it for gaming, downloading, anything- no problems at all.

To address some BSOD issues I had experienced, I opened the case for a clean. When I did this, I unplugged my JFP1 connections. I also removed my video card and rearranged my SATA cables- but touched nothing else. When I reassmbled the computer, I can NO LONGER TURN IT ON. At all.

When I switch the PSU on, I can see all the fans tick on for a second, both case fans, CPU fan, GPU fan, and PSU fan. Is there a way to tell if my motherboard has a short? What else might cause this?

Another interesting facet of this is that my case has two 'power sw' connectors...I tried both, but neither worked.

Here are my specs:

Rosewill FBM-01 case
MSI a55m-e35 motherboard
8 gb kingston hyperx ram
PNY nvidia geforce GTX 760
AMD quad core 3.8 ghz processor
CX 600 power supply
500 gb HDD

PLEASE HELp!!!!! I really hope this is just some funky problem with my JFP1, and not a short anywhere....please, any troubleshooting advice or knowledge would be invaluable. Help mee!!
