Hello,
So I bought a new motherboard - CPU - ram a couple of days ago. I had no problems up until I got done building my comp. It would not power on at all but the green light on my motherboard showed that it had power. I rechecked everything I had done and put it all back together. A friend of mine thought the problem was in the "System Panel Connector" because it showed that I had power. So while my power cable was plugged in (stupid I know) I wiggled the Q connector to make sure it was on. After doing so my computer turned on and I put Windows on it.
I came back the following day and tried to turn it on but nothing. So again I tried everything that had to do with power. I eventually went back to the panel to wiggle it again and it turned on. I was using the Asus Q-Connector at the time so I took it off and put the plugs on one at a time. If it matters at all I put the H.D.D or the I.D.E LED on last. The system wouldn't boot so I went back and wiggled each one of the plugs and at the last plug, the H.D.D, it turned on.
Is this a problem with the motherboard, the case's H.D.D cable, or my power supply? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I haven't found much on this issue and I am at loss.
My specs:
MOBO - Sabertooth x58
RAM - Corsair 1600 6 gigs
CPU - i7 950 3.06 ghz
GPU - GeForce 260 GTX
HDD - WD 1 TB
Power - Rosewill 630 watt 80% eff
Case - Antec 900
Thank you for your time.
