Out of case motherboard power testing
Last response: in Motherboards
Not sure this is the good place to ask since altho its an asus sabertooth mobo its troubleshooting as well
anyway heres my pricey build:
pcu:Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics ...
gpu:GIGABYTE GV-N680OC-2GD GeForce GTX 680 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
psu:Rosewill FORTRESS Series FORTRESS-750 750W Continuous@50°C,80 PLUS Platinum Certified,Single +12V
mobo:ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

ram:G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-
anyway heres the deal: i tried to do an out of case power testing on my motherboard and after i plugged in the power supply, linked monitor to gpu and turned power supply switch on, theres only the mobo green light lightening up(nothing else, no cpu/gpu fan or anything, no response from the monitor as well).

More about : case motherboard power testing
Hello, here is what I think it is happening:
To make the out of case test work you need to short the two terminals of the power switch. Get the motherboard manual, refer to the schematic for the up close diagram of the "System Panel Header". Go to page 2-25 in the z77 mohtherboard manual. There is a close up of the system panel header further identified in the main schematic at the front of the book. There are two terminals labled power and gnd, bridging those two terminals for a second should cause the board to start. You can use any metal impliment to crete a short circuit between the two posts of the power switch terminal and the board will power up. Even the tip of a pen.
You are half way there...Get that mounted in a case!
