Started working on putting together a system and I ran into this problem. I had the motherboard in another case and it worked fine for a week, I bought a Enlight case with a 300 watt power supply and placed the board in it. I aslo installed a Seagate 60 gig hard drive. It posted fine and I ran Fdisk I then rebooted and started formating the drive (it did seem really slow but I figured 60 gigs would take a while) after formating I reset the computer and nothing happens (no beeps no video) and the power switch will not turn the system off. I have reset the bios and removed all the drives with the same out come, replaced the memory and video card no change, The power switch will turn the system on but not off. thanks for any help.

thanks again for your help
 
how well did you ground yourself before going into the case? did you touch the motherboard at all with your bare hands? were you on carpet or was it a cold dry day?
 
I was very carefull using a grounding strap, I just pulled it out of the enlight case and plugged it into the old case and got beep codes I am starting to wonder if maybe a bad switch (reset or power) on the enlight case
 
The beep codes are 2 quick beeps then a pause followed by 8 short beep.
I just plugged it into the old case with-out video or floppy. I also checked the switches on the enlight case and the are working so what does that leave? P/S???
 
make sure the switch on the back of the psu is switched to on (1) and make sure that it is connected right to the motherboard, if that doesn't work, then yes I would think that it might be a psu issue.
 
The power supply on the enlight case doesn't have a master on/off on the back and it seem to get the power because the case and cpu fan is running. The thing that get me is why I can't turn the power off once I push the power button (fans keep on running) I have to pull the plug to turn the system off. Thanks alot for your help I guess I'll put it back in the old case and return this enlight.
 
the reason I thought it might be an esd'd mobo is because of the problem with the power button, I had similar problems when I fried my motherboard. are you using the spacers that came with the case so that the motherboard isn't grounding out?
 
Yea the spacers for this enlight case are higher than ones I used in the past. I pulled the motherboard holder out of the case and set it on the table next to both cases and one gets beeps and the enlight just powers on and hangs
 
that is very strange, did you try switching your other psu into that case and powering it on to see if you get the same problem?
