I recently bought a new cpu, ram, and motherboard for my computer. I installed everything thing correctly, checked if the green light was on and tried to power it on from the power button on my case, but nothing happens no fans spinning, nothing. But if I press the Memok button at the top of the motherboard everything powers on. I don't want to have to keep opening up my case just to power my computer on. I need some help with this.
 
Solution
Try starting the board outside the case, only CPU and CPU fan installed, both 24 and 8 pin power cables connected (no other components/wires). Start the board by shortly touching with a screwdriver the 2 pins on the motherboard where the case power button gets connected.
See if the CPU fan does spin.

Mine does similar!

I can turn mine on from the power button but it turns on then turns off 5 seconds later. If I turn it on from MEMOK! button it will allow me to boot into BIOS but I can't boot into Windows - fails to load :(

Following to see if anyone posts a solution on yours.
