Can somebody please helpme, I had a problem with my new computer, when I just got it I opened the case (breaking the sealing sticker and thus voiding the warranty) and installed my old CD RW and SATA hard drive. After that everything worked perfectly for three days. Then one day I turned it on and went on with my bussiness but out of nowhere it just went dead. It was really weird because it didn't turn on anymore, so I went crazy traying to find a cause for the problem until I found it.
I strip it all apart and bech tested it and it WORKED PERFECTLY AGAIN. so I put it all back together and again no signs of life. So I bench tested and again worked perfectly. I discarded all other causes of failure since I bought a brand new power supply. I tested it outside first with only CPU, CPU fan and ram stick then added the hardrive and CD RW and worked perfect. So the problem only presents itself when it's mounted on the case. The standoffs are all properly aligned and not touching anything they shouldn't, so is the IO panel.
The mobo is a Biostar GF8200C M2+ with a AMD Sempron 140 processor, 1 GB DDR2 Kingston Ram, Western Digital Caviar 250 SATA HD, Generic 350W. Power supply.
So could anybody tell me how the hell find where the problem is and how to fix it?
