System Won't Power...

[Fusionsaint]

So about two years ago I purchased a computer from iBuyPower, aside from all the problems I had with the actual purchase the computer worked relatively well. I've recently been having some cooling problems with my video cards getting too hot so I purched a new case and a self contained water cooling fan. I disassembled my old computer, took all of the cords and componants out of the old tower and placed them into the new tower. After having spent several hours doing this, I finally finished only to have it not power on when I plugged it in. I have a AXP 1000 watt power supply, an intel core i7, 2 285 GTX graphics cards as well as 2TB hard drives. Currently when the computer is plugged into a wall the power button on the mother board is green and lit (msi x58 pro-e). However, the fans don't turn on the drives don't spin up even the fan in the power supply doesn't move. HELP!

Are both the 24 pin and 8 pin power cables connected? If all cables are connected and the PSU fan doesn't turn, I would suspect it is the culprit.

Yeah they are all connected... What I don't understand is the powersupply was working 2 hours before that. I literally unplugged my computer, took it apart, reassembled it and lo and behold no power...

I know it's a pain to redo, but you might want to pull it back apart, breadboard and run just the PSU, 1 stick of memory and the onboard graphics (no HDs).

Figured out what it was, turned out the motherboard was touching one of the back plates, once I moved it booted fine. Thanks for all the help.
