Ok so I have previously bent the pins on my mobo hence I have had boot up issues since last year, had my mobo replaced recently, lived without a PC for almost 2 months, now that my PC is alive and kicking recently I came across a new issue which I never would have had expected as it was new, booting and shutting down was a breeze compared to previous MOBO (previous was a Gigabyte Z97MX-5 mobo, now dumb me went again with a Gigabyte Z97M D3H mobo - micro ATX) now power button does not even respond when booting on but it responds when pressed to shut down, heck even reset hence I had trouble booting up my PC since 3 days now. Dumb me discovered only one way to boot up the PC, removing the HDMI cable at the GPU side and touching its metal end it on the PCI bracket of the GPU (gigabyte gtx 970 G1) and I would literally see a small spark from it and it turns on the PC! I guess its relative to that testing of the mobo with two screwdrivers to make it boot (some sort of shorting or something) but I doubt this is a safe alternative way of booting up a PC, now my doubt is why this is happening, I fairly got a good PC setup (PSU is a Corsair AX 760) CPU is an i5 4690K, 8 GB ram, 120gb SSD boot drive, 1 TB HDD, hyper 212 evo, Asus DVD drive and 4 case fans. All the parts are now a year and a half old and this was my first PC build.
help a brother out and it will greatly appreciated.
