Need a lil' help. So, I bread-boarded the system last night (with the gfx card in) and it booted right up--displayed the proper amount of ram, processor speed, and what not, however I think I may have a defective post speaker, as it doesn't beep. Today, I installed everything in the case (HAF 922), and nothing, not even a sound. No lights, no fans turning, nothing came on. It's like it's getting no power.
So, I took out the MOBO, re-bread-boarded it (everything worked again, like a charm??) checked for debris/wires behind the board, checked the offsets too--couldn't see any issues, so I reseated/refastened everything, double checked for solid connections--all good. Hit power--nothing. Again, no lights, no fans spinning, nothing. The only thing I can see that may be shorting it is the back plate of my 212 evo, it's actually touching the metal of the case. It looks like the cut out is too high at the bottom of the notch, as it comes up the back plate about a 1/4" and is actually making contact.
Any help would be mucho aprreciated. I will be happy to provide more info if necessary!
