Case Problem

[AndyT27]

Specs: 12GB RAM Corsair Vengeance 

             Intel Core i5 - 4460 CPU LGA 1150

             ASRock Z97 Anniversary Mobo

             Cooler Master H2 Silent Pro 850W

             128 GB AData SSD

             1TB WD HDD

             Cooler Master HAF X Case

 

 

 

 

 

My problem is that when I tested out the motherboard and and the other components without putting it into the case, it powers on. When I put it into the case, it powers on but when I power it off and leave it for a few days due to homework and such, it doesn't turn on at all. I took everything out of the case and powered it on and it works, but I don't know why my case won't power it on. Is it shorting out my motherboard?

Check you dont have any extra standoff that could short the board. Also try it again, maybe you just didn't put a cable in properly?

I'll try that but I'm positive that there's no other standoffs and that I put in the wires properly.

OK the only things I can think that a case could do is:

1. Stand-off shorting mobo
2. Cable not in properly
3. Mobo tray is raised and is shorting (But this would be stupid design or a damaged case)

Alright, I'll keep checking it out and maybe the problem will show itself.

I checked it and the cables are in properly, there's only the standoffs that correspond to the Mobo, and the tray isn't raised at all.

Odd... I don't know what else to suggest... Sorry.

That's quite alright. If anything, I'll just buy a new case or get one of my co-workers to check it out for me. Thanks

I found the problem to my thing. The case's USB cable isn't working so I have to sacrifice the front USB 2.0s
