Hi,
My PC was working fine. I shut down and replaced my Celeron 950 with a
Pentium III 933, added a stick of SDRAM, another hard drive, and a
DVDROM drive. In doing this I took my Abit VA-6 motherboard out of the
ATX case and then reinstalled it.

Now when I press my case power button there is no response. No fans
start up, no beeps, nothing (not even the power supply fan goes).
There is the barest flicker from my case lights. I tried taking
everything out and only using the bare minimum components. Still no
joy - no fans.

I tried swapping in another motherboard (an ASUS CUV-4X-e). The LED
light on this motherboard works to show it is receiving power. But no
start from anything.

Help!
