Hello... verify your power switch/button is connected properly to your motherboard pins... you can take a screw driver tip, and touch/short those pins on your motherboard, to determine if your power switch/button is not working properly... You do not need to maintain the short to those pins, JUST a momentary short is needed to start the computer.
