I decided to build a new desktop, and now i'm kinda disappointed. I put it all together, and it did not power on. I tried changing power outlets, plugging-in/disconnecting motherboard cables, components, moving around the power switch connector, but i got no reaction. Today, i decided to take the motherboard/fan/processor/ram from my working desktop and hook it into the new case/PSU to see if anything changed. After plugging in the main PSU cable and the the fan cable, i did get a reaction! I got an orange light...
-Does this mean that the new case and PSU are not the issue here?
-is this maybe an indicator that there's some mechanism to keep the MOBO from posting if the case fans are not plugged in? Didn't think it mattered especially since it's an open-air desktop at this point...the case fans were plugged in in the initial setup with all the new stuff. I plugged everything in that had a place to be plugged in on the motherboard.
That's all the info i see as relevant, not going to give anymore without some questions as that would make this even more confusing...
