Okay, so I just built another desktop for my brother with the same specs as my own desktop. Unfortunately, I turn the PSU on and the motherboard's power light turns green, but when I press the power button it does nothing at all.
ASUS M5A97
Visiontek 650W
Sapphire Radeon HD 6850
Corsair 2x4gb RAM
WD 500gb HDD
ASUS DVD-ROM
As I said, it is identical to my personal desktop so I don't know if its the motherboard, or the PSU. Also, my father decided to do his usual BS with the PWR_LED plug. The case comes with a 2-pin, but the motherboard has 2 pins but not side by side for the PWR_LED. I have tried to move them around, thinking maybe it only needs to be hooked up to one pin because it could be a circuit meant to only be hooked up to one pin on the motherboard, if that makes sense?
I would like to know how I can test to see if its the motherboard's starters that are bad, or if its the PSU (which I highly doubt because of the bright green light)?
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
