All wires--including the power supply--appeared to be in their proper places and making connections. Like yours, power supply and hard disk spooled up (You didn't mention if the memory count occurred; it did not occur in my situation.). In my case, it was an AT power supply (I suspect yours is ATX, and this may not apply.) and the power leads were not snapped down tightly enough to the board. I reattached them, making certain they snapped down firmly, and the computer booted without incident. You may want to investigate this connection. As for the inability to power off, the ATX cases often have 2 power switches. I'm guessing here, but perhaps one enables/disables the soft power-off feature? > > I tried another video card but no luck there. This is a brand new case, > board, Celeron chip and Memory.
