Have you cut power to your system since installation? that is, use the real power switch in the back, and unplug the mobo connector?

if so, when you replug it, and turn it on, does your system power up?

i just installed a new stick of RAM, and did just that. turned the PC off, turned the PS off, unplugged the PS from the mobo, insert RAM.

then i replugged everything, and turned the PS on. i press the power switch on the PC, and NOTHING.

i have the asus cusl2-c, the one with the 815EP, with the LED on the mobo meaning power is going to the mobo. and it's on. but when i press the power switch, NOTHING!.

well, i replaced that PS with my old setup (2 power supplies) and spent a few hours with the computer that way. i thought i might've killed the PS, this being my replacement PS for a dead PS. now afer those hours, looks to be 8 hours ago i suppose, i basically reinstalled that enermax, and it's off and going again.

i have no idea wtf is going on.
 
Hmm...I just took mine apart last night. Using the same PS as you. After reassembling everything came up like overclockwork. I would check the switch on the back flip it a few times. Then if you have a meter handy. Check to make sure its working. If you dont feel like that hell ill buy it from you for $25.00 😉

Good luck
 
uh, i am not stupid. i know what to look for.

if the LED on the mobo is ON, that means the mobo is getting power. but for some reason, when i did press the power switch nothing. and after a few hours without using the PS, it worked.
 
try connecting a green cable and a black cable to see if the fan spins up. The power may still be at bad levels even if it does though.
 
I have that power supply too..

maybe it was a bad power switch...
loose wires connecting from the power switch?

I had that happen to me once in a case...the power switch or the wire just behind it somehow just doesn't want to work...and I ended up cutting the wires and extended it out to the front of the case and when I want to turn on the computer, I just touch the 2 wires....of course...I got a new switch after a few days of hotwire starting my system
