    I have a mobo with Gforce 8600 gt installed and 4 gigs of ram. Everything is plugged in and getting power, i know this cause the fans are running, but when i press the power button on the front of my computer, the whole thing stops working, and it wont start unless i unplug it and plug it back in. i cant think of why this would happen. My mobo is MSI K9A2 CF

    And also make sure that the Power LED wire is not connected to the Power SW connector.

    I think i figured out the problem. The thing was running but no visual on screen. I assumed it was the oben box gfx card i bought. I bought a new card and rma'd the old one. Once I get that... I'll post an update. Hopefully everything works out.
