No action after power button hit

Sort of some success. Turns out that my board was shorting out on the chassie (sp?) Now I am trying to find something to insullate it besides these lame little discs to put behind the brass fittings.

it should not short unless you have a stand off(those brass things) in the wrong place?

Check and make sure there's not one where it does not go. Some boards use different holes(when they are not as deep as a full atx size board).

I agree with Nukemaster, unless you have placed a standoff where it does not belong or something along those lines you should have no shorting issues whats so ever. Check your MB's manual I am sure it shows where the standoffs should be placed check those first if those are all correct then i would say you have a defective Motherboard. Also try removing the motherboard BE SURE TO SET IT ON FOAM OR SOME KIND OF NONE CONDUCTIVE SURFACE and then power it and try to start it and see if you have any problems then. I had this happen with a client's computer awhile back it would power sometimes in a a blue moon figured I had a standoff placed wrong, nope took the motherboard out it would fire sometimes and then not others RMA'ed board and he has had it running for the last 5 months lol. Hope this helps...
