    Long story, short version,

    Bought a new pc, wanted an upgrade but wanted to reuse my old case so I did a swap of mobo for each case, the new one is working fine in my old case (using it now) but my old mobo wont boot up in the new case, I'm baffled! the only thing I'm unsure of is if the led connectors and the reset sw connectors are in correctly or even if that matters to the starting of the machine. There is no spin of the PSU, it did work as I tested it before the swap. its a gigabyte p35 ds4.

    I'd appreciate your help, must be missing something!

    If its still not booting after you read the manual for the connections it may well be a short somewhere.
    Make sure all the mobo standoffs are in the right place and not screwed to tightly.
