Help Me Please! New System! :(

Hi. I recently ordered a new case, because I thought my old case had a problem. The power would turn on, but it only gave my motherboard power for 2-3 seconds. So I ordered a new case.

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/produc...82E16811144026

Motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131043


I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but its really upsetting me sad.gif The f_panel is set up correct, and everything is..I just need to know why it doesent work.. It would be VERY VERY appreciated if you tech guru's could help me!

you can either post here

Welcome to PC Mech Forums

Are you switching parts from an old system (presumably manufacturer-built) into a new case? Who was the manufacturer and/or what were the full sys specs?

xDeFiAnCe, I edited your email address - spam bots search forums looking for e-mail addresses to add to their spam list.

Is this a home built computer or a name brand one?

What are the complete system specs including the power supply? Please list the parts by brand and model.

Follow the troubleshooting instructions found in this thread and let us know what happens. You must remove the motherboard from the case when doing this.

The PSU is most likely a Turbolink 420W PSU if they haven't changed in recent months. That will be grossly underpowering any modern-day system. While it may or may not be the solution to your problem, I highly suggest you replace it with a solid unit if you intend of keeping the case. What was your old case? Got a link?

What are you using for a video card, or are you just using the onboard video?

That motherboard requires both a 24 pin main ATX and a 4 pin aux connector.

Have you tried the out of the case build as described in the linked thread?
