So I got my beautiful new Corsair 750D today after wanting to upgrade my Antec 900, treating myself to an early and rather expensive birthday present, I wait patiently all day to let my friends check it out while I build it and when I finally go to turn it on, nothing...well almost nothing. The PSU powers the mobo and the CPU fan spins up fully (don't know why it does that when it's off) but when I press the power button, nothing. It turned on twice in around fifty attempts and even then there's like a 5 second delay, and nothing comes up on screen. Fans and drives spin up though.
Removed and unplugged everything except the CPU and power, nothing. PSU works as I tried it in a Dell. So it's either my CPU or Mobo, those are the only two suspects. I keep thinking it's the front panel connections done wrong or something but it's powered on a few times.
Just my luck. So, what do you guys think it is? I think I shorted the board. Some people have that problem with Corsair cases :/ Unless I can somehow salvage this I'm going to have to get a lend of €320 and buy an 4670K and an MSI Gaming board and be broke for the next 2-3 months...
