how would i know if my motherboard is grounding itself against the case
the screws i used to fasten the motherboard are not on that tight

Well theoretically the motherboard should only be touching the mounts at the designated holes. They usually hame metal rings that are electrically isolated from the mobo circutry, but there could be some screw or standoff touching some resistor or wire, leading to a short circuit. by starting up on a foam pad u elimate that possibility and reducing the number of connected components is logical. less to trouble shoot.

As for the pins, they seem to be different for each and every motherboard... but to get it started you should only have to short the two power on switch pins briefly to get the PC to powerup. You you dont even have to have the button connected. Ive seen a tech guy do it with a touch of a tweazer.

Just in case, you might want to disconnect the power, remove the bios battery, clear the cmos, reverse the process and try again... just incase some bios glitch was preventing it from firing up.

If you drive half way to detroit, then go north until you run out of gasoline, that's where I live. I'd do the work for $40 plus gasoline...

Ok, my serious post:

Going to have to go with the apparent consensus of the group: Perhaps the power switch is connected improperly.

That would be the FIRST thing I would check. Happened to me once. Thought I killed the board. Had to tell the dean. He came over and poked and prodded. Switched two leads. Powered on just dandy. Boy did he hold that over my head!
(had the pwr led and pwr switch reversed).

Once you confirm that your PWR switch IS connected properly, then post back.

thanks for all the support guys!!
my second pc is up and running
its at 1833 mhz now which is amazing seeing as though i didnt change any settings in bios
maybe i left the fsb jumper at 200 or something
but anyways the pc is rock stable!! runs at 36 celsius under full load after that oc
GET YOURSELF A SPEEZE HS/F!!
SO CHEAP AND SO WORTH IT
and get a xp1700 chip for $40!!

i did a benchmark and the pc got a 7,xxx
now my other main pc(barton/a7n8x) scores a 14,5xx

but how come i notice the new machine on the via kt400 chipset absolutely destroys the barton in window tasking
i mean everything runs noticebly smoother on a machine that is less than half of the other in 3d mark 2001, 256 less memory and the list goes on!!!)

after comparing pcs now i know that my a7n8 rig is not up to its full potential although the benchmark seems right!!
must be the ram

crashman its a p3v4x asus mobo (only slot 1 compatible up to 1ghz p3) with a 667 chip(these are kinda expensive and old)
maybe we could work out a little trade because im pretty sure the weight is 3 lbs=$10
let me know and pm me

AND BEFORE I LEAVE I WOULD LIKE TO ADD

HINENIGGER@AOL.COM IS A FRUITCAKE
YOU SCAMMED ME AND IM FLYING DOWN AND CAMPING OUTSIDE YOUR APARTMENT TO BITCH SLAP YOU

I'll pay you on behalf of him. I'll give you 40bs (Bolivianos) that I have left over from my trip.
