Hi,

I bought the cabinet for my PC - Antec 380W http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=27380
I put mobo, processor, 22" monitor, 7600gt PSU in the cabinet with my hdd and dvd drive outside, and it worked fine. It booted the windows XP, and i was using it for an hour.
Then i put my sata hdd and dvd drive and all the wires into the cabinet and locked it. once everything is done, when i tried switching on, the processor fan doesn't spin. There was power in the mobo with the led light glowing.
Then when i removed the 4 pin cable connecting to mobo, the processor fan got triggered and runs for just 2 seconds and went off.
I took the mobo out of the cabinet and with the sata, it runs for sometime, some 5 minutes i guess, i feel the proc fan is running slowly. The processor fan is kind of unstable, it runs sometime and sometimes it doesn't. but it doesnt boot at all in any of these problems.

Please help me, its kinda urgent. Is it the SMPS i bought is of low volt or my mobo problem.

My pc config:
core 2 e6600 2.4 ghx
display adapter 7600gt to 22"inch monitor
2 gb ram
200gb sata
 
Motherboard shorting out on the motherboard tray?

Did you use stand offs between the board and case? If so, did you use one too many?
