Hello all,

This is my first posting, please be kind.  I have just put together a new
system am having power related problems.  I have no peripherals installed,
just a video card and a hard drive so that I could test it.  Here is what I
have:

ATX Midtower case by MinMaw
FIC PA-2012 motherboard
AMD K6-233
32MB SDRAM DIMM
3.2GB Western Digital HDD

I can get it to power up, and I have even installed win95..everything seems
fine.  Unless I bump the case, or insert a floppy disk while it is powered
on.    The whole unit powers off and I can't get it to turn back on.  The
button just acts dead.  It also happened when I put the front cover on (it
just snaps in).  The only way I can get it to turn on again is if I
disconnect the power cable, then unplug the power supply from the
motherboard, plug it in again, then plug in the external power cable.
Am I looking at a problem with the case and power supply, or the
motherboard?  (or something else)
I checked the power switch and everything was tight.  I don't have another
ATX case so I can't really test it out and I purchased this case from out of
town.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Lucas Taylor
