• Weird case problem

I got a new case, it is just your standard case with power switch, reset and LEDS [xigmatek midguard] I transferred my components to this new case and it ran great for a day or two but suddenly I got a problem where it doesn't even POST, no VGA output etc, it just stays on for 10 seconds and shuts down. All of the fans work, checked gpu by replacing, got a new cpu heatsink, soundcard, psu, cpu. (just ones i had lying around) Nothing worked until I put everything in the old case. It runs fine when I use the old one. So apparently my new case is shorting me or something? Any ideas on how I can prevent this? :smith:
Clear CMOS? One time my screen wasn't showing anything and I did that.. everything went fine. Don't do it yet. Make sure someone knows what I'm talking about.

Maybe its a issue with the standoffs placement?
