With all the motherboards I've thrown in this case it does not start up. All 3 motherboards I used, use to work in my old case before I had the power issue I talked about above. I do not think the new case I ordered is defective because my friend ordered the same case and same problem. Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811144026 Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16813131043 I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but its really upsetting me you can either post here or PLEASE HELP! //Mod edit to remove email address to protect from spam bots.

What power supply are you using? (Someone block out his email and aim name, spam bots will nab it soon =/ ) Sounds more like a power supply issue than a case or mobo issue.

Could it be something with your power supply? Even possibly your overloading it with too many peripherals? I would suggest trying another power supply if you can.
The only reason I can think of why a case would keep your computer from turning on would be maybe the button to turn it on sticks. If it doesn't, your case shouldn't be the problem. Hope this helps! -------------------- |

I agree, if possible, unplug some unused things in you case (floppy drive, extra fans) and see if you can boot then. If not, I'd try to replace the power supply.
