I am not at all an experienced PC builder but I had help from someone who was around 2 years ago in building a pc. It has been fine until recently when the PC would turn on but not boot or have a display on. Upon looking inside I could see all fans running except the CPU fan, which explained why the PC was not booting up.
In removing and checking everything I now see that the 24 Pin connector to the motherboard when wiggled around or pushed up and in would start the CPU fan and the pc would begin to boot no problem. However, it reboots eventually sometimes after hours and or the fan stops and back to no display.
I'm trying to figure out if this is coming from a problem with the PSU or if its the 24 pin slot on the motherboard that's causing this? If anyone has any other tips on diagnosing/fixing this problem I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to replace the wrong part if it's needed.
The Motherboard is an ASUS P7P55D-EPRO and the PSU is a TX750M Corsair.
Thanks for any input and help!

Try applying something to hold them into place, just make sure you apply it only in the cable and not metal parts.Not having any luck.. I'm thinking my next move may be to get a 24 pin Extender cable to see if that fixes the issue? Think that may work? If not I'm thinking of getting another PSU, have been looking at a Thermaltake 850W SP-850M. I've put in an RMA for my Corsair but I can't be waiting around weeks for that.

Correct.Does your psu have different cables that you can detach from it? Or is it an all in bundle of cables going into a hole?i[/
The 24 pin goes into the hole as a bundle. But there are some outside connections it looks like. I'm having the same issue, the pins keep getting pushed back and the reboots continue.

Just check if you can see all the metal connectors when you look in all the holes, also try to push down every little cable. Next step i would try is to get another 24 cable and try with that.3 of the top pins were pushed way back and I used a tweezer to push them back to the front. So far powered on with no problems, if it stays that way I'll update again! Thanks! If it continues to happen I should just get another 24 pin connector correct? And how would that connect to the PSU? what would the other end of the cable be?
