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
