I just built a new system thats going to be for my mom for christmas:

Ive got a

AMD Phenom 9950 BE
MSI K9A2 Platinum MB
and an Antec 500W Earthwatts Power supply
in a Coolmaster Centurion 5 tower.

Here is the problem i have. Ive hooked everything up, the LED on the MB lights up, but when i hit the power switch on the front of the case it doesnt turn on. I tried shorting the two power switch pins on the motherboard with a flathead screw driver and still nothing. I assume that means its the board, but i was open to any ideas before i take everything off the board and RMA it.

Thanks

Does anyone have any ideas, I just want verification that my diagnosis is either correct or if something else could be the cause.
