And important are numbers to three significant digits. For example, specs say the 5 volts must be above 4.75. But specs do not say everything. With other facts, 4.8 volts would be reporting an obviously defective PSU. What are three digit numbers on purple, red, orange, yellow, green, and gray wires? Also what are voltages on green and gray wires both before and as the switch is pressed? If concerned about a CMOS battery, then also measure it with the meter. Again, a number that must be three digits.	westom (16792)

Really appreciate the feedback There has been the odd time that for some reason the Motherboard is shorting on the case somewhere. You could try pulling the board out and firing it up out of the case, see if it still wont go. I've got Two new older Boards here that do the exact thing, on the bench they work perfectly, but put them in a case and they wont boot. I know where the problem is, its actually the face plate at the back shorting somewhere, because if I leave that out of the case they once again boot fine.	wainuitech (129)
