Hi, I built a new PC recently with tje following specs:

I7 6700K
Nvidia GTX 980 TI
G.Skill Ripjaws 3600 DDR4
Crucial BX200 480 GB SSD
WD Caviar black 1TB
EVGA Supernova g2 850w

Everything has been fine since I installed everything 3 days ago or so (I had to reinstall Windows 2 times, but had nothing to do with the components). Yesterday, I went to the supermarket (I left the computer on), and when I returned home after 30 mins or so, the PC had turned off itself.
I couldnt turn it on with the power button, om the motherboard, only the START button was lighted up, I pressed it and it started normally. Now when I try to put it on, I got thw same problem, need to press start button to make it work, what could be happening?

Must say never tried to update BIOS or something because i didnt have any problem of this kind until now.

Thanks and sorry for my crap english.

As the above mentioned, your front connections should be checked. Also I would recommend updating your bios to the latest revision. I did this directly after installing my hardware and have not had any problems, even with the higher frequency ram and XMP enabled.
