Comp wont power up!!! HELP!

so i just got a new case and moved everything over from my old case, and the thing wont power on. no POST, no nothin. just a click when i hit the power button. checked all the connections, leads, components, etc, still nothin. put it back in the old case, nothin works. tried new mobo, new power supply, removing/adding the RAM, nothing but a click. I was very careful and could not have shocked or friend anything.... i have no idea why it wont start. HELP

yea unfortunately i have tried every single thing u have suggested lol. thats why i am so stumped... i have tried it with just the mobo, 1 stick of ram, and psu, no luck. tried it with all the combinations of hardware. theres like no way to power this thing on. idk what it could be because its happened in both cases, and it worked before the transfer, so somethin i did durring the switch caused it. but it didnt work with a new power supply, or a new mobo... idk... ive tried everything i can think of.

Also be sure that you have connected your PSU correctly to your MB. There will be a 20/24 pin main power supply you need to attach from the PSU to the MB and then there is the smaller 4/8 pin connector you need to make sure is hooked up. A lot of times people tend to forgot to check if they hooked up the smaller 4/8 pin power connector (it is located close to the CPU). No power to the CPU means no starting the computer.

Those are the two main reasons why your computer won't start......

Or it could be something simple like this: I have, in almost every room of my home, a light switch that is connected to an outlet. If that switch is turned off, anything connected in those specific outlets doesn't get power. So, as you see, it could be something simple like that that you have just overlooked.

*edited to add a few words to clarify things*

Did you put the brass standoff's in?

heh ya all good suggestions. I have all the correct standoffs in place, the power plugs are the same as from the last time it worked, all the power connectors are of course connected. ive spent the last 4 days with no comp, with 2 of my techie friends over to help. they r stymied too. idk wtf is goin on..X1Viper

i could do that, that is a major pain tho. and ive already switched out most components for other ones to try.

Have you set the front panel in corectly? link_999

yea its not the plug, just tried that. i have a modular psu, so everything is obvious and hooked up correctly. only thing i havent replaced is the CPU, but its hard to imagine how i would have damaged that in the transfer. i was very careful, didnt shock anything....

no its totally compatable, this same setup was working a week ago in the old case, now it wont work in either. i didnt change anythin cept case, now it wont power up...

after many considerations, i concluded that ur pc is possessed.. throw it away or exorcise it.. juz kidding.. mayb the source of the problem is not from ur pc.. try to plug it into another power outlet.. the click u mentioned is it like mechanically sound? the power led didnt light?

i already said that i tried different plugs, they dont work either. and no nothing lights up at all

Hi If you have a motherboard manual(You can download one if you don't.)

Go through the assembly page by page to make sure you didn't skip

anything. Maybe a jumper fell off when you transfered the board.

Basically,what I am saying is take the time to go through the manual.

Also I would check the control panel plugs where the case wires connect

to the motherboard.

checked the manual, no luck at all. EVERY SINGLE THING is perfect with my rig as far as I can see. aaaah so frustrating!
