I just transferred my asus p8z68 v-le setup to a new cooler master storm trooper case (which i love)

The problem is, I can only intermittently get it to power up.

Whether or not it turns on, the motherboard power light is on.

when I do get it to start the front panel light and all fans come on.

Anyone have any idea what this could be? A PSU issue? Damaged board?

The front panel connector connector is facing out on the board, i.e. you can read the lettering. I could not tell which side is + or - although there is a triangle on one side. Not sure what that means.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

I have confirmed it is installed correctly.

A few hours later I tried it again and it booted.

ReLized I wanted to change the 6g Sata connections so I turns the power off and changed them. Tried to boot Again and no power to the case.

Very strange. Has anyone encountered this?
