Forget Duncan's insight, well intentioned but only vaguely accurate. That's not how you'd go about testing this issue since the power good line of the PSU is showing OK as the system powers up & stays on depending on case orientation. When you say "start" I assume you mean "power" button jumper

I am at a standstill on my checking. Would there be any danger in using a second known good psu and just plugging in the 24 pin main supply cable and leave the HD power on the old power supply? This would show up if there was a break in one of the power wires in the old power supply without jus

Sam, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX IIRC, if you jumper pins 15 and 16, you will do the same thing the m/b's internal switching logic does to turn the system on. Please do not hold me to my choice of pins. Others in the collective have much more experience with this and may offer other choi

Sam, I once had an old 386 computer I sold to a friend. He called after setting it up that it wasn't working. I took it home, openned it up and checked everything. It was working fine. I closed up the case and returned it, and again, it did not work for him. Thinking it was something in his home s

Sam, I have found that this problem involves at least 2 things. One thing is the m/b itself The other thing is that internal case wiring. For the m/b, what you need to do is make certain that the m/b is tight (?) to its' tray. Or, make certain that it is screwed down tight, however.
