I recently upgraded my computer. I purchased a Fractal Design Mesify C case and I have a z490 Aorus elite ac motherboard.
Here is the issue. I put together the entire system outside of the case. Everything runs great! I even updated the BIOS and the OS etc while I was waiting on the case...
I installed everything in the case last night and I get nothing. I get 1 flash from the LED on the mother board but no other lights. Fans do not spin etc..
I even tried running a Flash + on it to see if it had the power to do that.. nothing.
Steps I have taken..
Went to sleep...
Tonight I will be pulling everything back out and seeing if it fires up outside of the case. I that is so then all I can think of is I have a motherboard stand off issue ( which I made sure are in the right spots already ). The board did not come with an I/O Shield so maybe that is the issue?? I am at a loss if it doesn't fire up in the case. To add.. I have been using a screw driver to power it up and I tried that also while it was in the case. Has anyone else had these issues with a case? Would it be caused by the MB contacting the case around the IO area or something? Should I use insulated washers on the standoffs to see if that fixes it?
Ideas would be appreciated!

Steps I have taken..
- Tested PSU.. test passed
- Unplugged everything one by one and no change
- Removed the CPU to check for thermal paste issues or anything like that.. everything is ok there.
