I'm building a new Athlon XP 3000+ with an Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo and 512mb ram. I have a new case and I'm transferring all the other components from my old PC (Athlon 600Mhz). I have a 300 watt PS that was working fine in my old PC.
Now the problem: When I put it all together and hit the power switch in the back of the PS, there are 2 lights that light up on the mobo. 1 is the power indicator and the other is the AGP warning light(?). Anyway, when I hit the power switch on the front of the case, nothing happens. I tried reversing the 'power sw' lead from the case to the mobo but still nothing. I checked and it doesn't look like the mobo is touching anything which could be grounding it. I even put all the pieces back into the old case, but with the same results. Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped! Thanks.
