hi guys, i have recently built my first own custom desktop computer, and i managed to get it to work to a certain extent. the only part about my build that i have encoutered problems with is the power button on the case itself. the powerbutton is very inconsistent, and i usally need to press it several times (2-10 times) before the computer will boot. however, i can still turn the computer on from the panel 1 pins on the motherboard without much hassle, other than unscrewing the the side of the case of course. can this be a problem with the pins on the motherboard itself or the connectors for the power button? specs are listed below.

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 3, Socket-1150

HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 8GB Black
