Mobo standoff

[Murderous1]

One of the screws that holds the motherboard in place on the standoff is stuck in the standoff...any suggestions on how to correct this?

Hardware store should have extras. Bring an extra standoff and screw to be used as a size guide for the store to try em out to make sure its all correct.

The mobo is in the case all standoffs are installed ...i cant get the mobo out because of 1 screw thats stuck

happens to me a lot 'cause i want to tighten those darn screws too tight. just keep turning the screw, turning the standoff with it and unscrewing the standoff from the mb tray, then you can remove the board. Then use a pair of pliers to hold the standoff while you remove the screw.

First things first, make sure the switch on your psu is on and the psu is plugged into the wall (done both of those before). second, are you getting a light on the MB when it is plugged in? If there's no light, the board isn't getting power, or it's fried. If you get a light, but still nothing else, sounds like there's a possibility of your case power switch being plugged in the wrong place or backwards or something (done that before), or maybe the switch is broken. beyond that, i have no idea.
