between the mobo and the plate that it sits on.

sorry if iam posting in the wrong way (iam new) about standoffs i see now what you mean... :/ no i didnt use them i screw the mobo directly to the case... how bad is that?

It could short out your setup , should have been used.

If they come with the case standoffs should be used.

You should disassemble and put the standoffs in.

Make sure you have turned your power supply switch to 'On'

Woah, why was my post deleted? I was trying to help this dude and I can't really help him without images :/

 

[Ironarmygeneral]

I don't understand. I had some perfect thing planned to help him out and my post was DELETED. What the heck? I'm sorry I just honestly forgot you could tag photos onto here, so in my head, the only thing I could think of to send photos was through Google+...

You wanted to take this off to google+ that's not really the point. Images can be posted here quite easily.

Don't worry about it, images if needed can be posted here, you were trying to help in the right way, it would just be better on here, I doubt that the poster has done anything that tens of people haven;t done before and will do again, so lets solve it out in the open.

Looks like a standoff issue. Assuming that the backplate doesn't have dimples.

It was someone else who had bits deleted, you did nothing 'wrong'.

It can be quite bad if the backplate does not come with stand offs built in as raised areas.

Alright. Well, I know I made a mistake, but I am only a few days old on here in terms of actually contributing to forum threads, so I just now realized that we were able to post pictures on HERE. That's why I made that mistake. But, anyway.

I'm a bit confused. I understand why you guys suspect the MoBo stand-offs, but he/she flat out said that the PC just didn't seem like it was getting any power. Did anyone stop to think that maybe something was plugged in incorrectly? Or there was a short caused by something ELSE? Or maybe the PSU just flat out wasn't turned on? I know, it seems like that would all be obvious, but for a first time builder of a PC, it's easy to make the dumbest mistakes, embarrassing or not. We are all computer builders, right? We should all remember our first time. My first time, I accidentally tried putting the RAM modules in the PCI lanes (I had no graphics card at the time, ran on an iGPU) and I also flip-flopped the power-switch connector and the reset-switch connector on the front panel header on the motherboard.

I probably did pull out too much of your post, apologies for that, so yes pictures would be helpful here.

Lets wait for the OP. at this stage I would suggest breadboarding, but the start up procedure is tricky at that point.

 

[13thmonkey]

I've unselected best answer as someone else selected it and not the OP (JediTT).

 

[machinarioum]

i just come home guys, i will disassemble all parts from the case

iam going to use the standoffs and i will let you know what happpend
