Problem: Computer dies with fans still working

[dliv3ranc3]

Recently my computer has just been spontaneously dying with everything shutting down but my fans keep spinning and the led's on them stay lit. The power on/off buttons and reset buttons don't work. The only way I can get my computer back up and running is if I unplug the power cord from the back of the PSU and plug it back in. I tried just switching the power supply off by itself but when I switched it back on I just got an idling, dead computer. Any thoughts?

Chances are, firstly, that your header connections (from your case) are mixed up - this is easy to do -
Take time over these - it is nice to have a functional power button and see when the hdd is being accessed.

Also, if plugged in wrong, I can imagine they could conceivably cause problems - not saying that this is the cause, but if you can post back confirming that all is good in that area, then we can play.
