Holding power button does nothing???

hello,

 

Eveything in my desktop pc is new except the case, which i bought used, altough that doesnt matter. Everything works, except this.

 

I can turn on my desktop with the power button, it lights up, everything good, but when im OC'ing and if in some cases everything freezes and i have to manually shut my pc down nothing happens. I hold the power button but nothing happnes, i can hold it for 5 seconds or 50, it just does nothing, but it will power up ? eveything else works for some reason. Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks for answers in advance.

You plugged it into the motherboard wrong

Try using the PSU Tier List!

If you plugged it in wrong, it's the pwr + and pwr - or something similar to that.  Refer to your mobo manual to be sure, it's part of the front panel headers.
