Hey there.
Recently I purchased a new GIGABYTE mobo as well as a new CPU, heatsink+fans, and RAM. Everything seems to be ok with the computer, except for the fact that the power button seems to be unresponsive (The PSU switch turns on the computer. Not the power button. The power button LED does work however), and Im having trouble with Windows, which is alright --- I was expecting a buggy OS and believe I can handle it.
However I did a little bit of looking around for the PSU problem, and someone said that there could be a short, or that the mobo is just a bad mobo.
I was thinking that was the issue for a few hours yesterday, but idk. Everything else works seemingly fine, and Im thinking that I may have just wired something up incorrectly.
Anywho, Im not exactly sure what is or how to pinpoint the problem and fix this. Is there any way that you think you'd be able to help me with this?
(And yes, I am rather new with this sort of stuff. Go easy on me )

(EDIT --- I may have not been thorough enough) What Im hoping the problem is currently is just incorrectly wired headers. You see, almost all of my hardware is new except the actual case itself. The headers on my new mobo are marked, but their corresponding case wires are not (probably because I wasn't expected to do this sort of thing with an old HP case). Would just playing around with these and just going by trial and error be OK?
