Upgraded my memory today. Because of the big CPU cooler I had to take
the mobo out of the box and the heatsink off the CPU to access the RAM
slots.

When I put the machine back together: nothing.

I've tried it in the box, out the box, screwed down, not screwed down
and with the old memory back. I've stripped the machine of everything
except for the CPU and RAM. No joy.

The only clue is that not only is power getting through - the CPU fan
runs - but also the power gets through immediately the PSU switch is
thrown, regardless of the power switch,

improper wiring of the switch or the switch is no good (atx switch on the
case right?)
stuck reset button
reset wired wrong

or indeed if the switch is
connected.

Any ideas (other than a new mobo and/or CPU)?


Thanks you

Derek
