Power Supply wont power up - please help

[Sorgon2]

I am putting a system together and I am to the point where I am going to power up and go into the BIOS. I have a new Antec SX830 case and a new KT7A-RAID board. I hooked everything up and checked my connections twice and they are set. I have a Enermax Whisper 350W PSU hooked up and it wont power on at all. I flipped the switch and all and still get nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!

try unplugging the atx power connector from the mobo and plugging it back in. or try pulling out the black cord from the psu and plug it back in. that resets the psu and sometimes it works. i have a similar ongoing comp not booting up problem and that's what i've been doing to fix it.

take the psu out of the case...get a paperclip. use it to connect the green wire to any of the 4 black wires (on the part that usually plugs into the mobo)...then plug the PSU power back in....if it powers up, then you know the PSU is still good

Have you checked the obviouse?

Make sure the little black rocker switch on the power supply is in the on possition. It's easy to forget when you are in a hurry to get a new toy up and running, and you get frustrated..

Also, I just remembered, check the little voltage switch as well, the one that is for US/110 or overseas/220. I had a powersupply that was just in the middle, and wouldn't power up due to that..
