I have a problem. Bought a new case and trying to move all parts over from old case.

I bought a NZXT Phantom 410 case. I've reconnected everything and I'm trying to turn the system on. When I hit the power button, the power led light flashes once and that's it. No fans turn on or nothing. Is my motherboard screwed up somehow or what? I think I've got everything connected properly from the new case.

Did you change any other parts, other than the case. You may have a short, if there's something in the mobo touching metal, or one of the PSU cables is missing or loose. Make sure you didn't flip the 120V switch on the PSU, or anything else.

Can you try plugging in the power supply to another outlet (I know that one sounds weird).

Lastly, you can try the old-fashion "unplug everything but the CPU and one stick of memory" and see where that gets you. Then add in one drive, GPU, and mem stick at a time.

I've had this mistake before, did you forget to put the 4pin or 8 pin on the top left of your mobo? the one that powers your cpu. Also try taking off the mobo battery for like 10 seconds then put it back on and try turning it on once more. What that does is it resets your bios.
