Rig wont boot what gives?

[Daeldus]

Okay so I have the rig in sig with an antec 1000 watt PSU
I took the case apart to clean it and do some wire management, Upon reconnection it doesn't boot at all, the green light on the mobo lights up, but I cant get it to fire up. I tried re-connecting the power button assembly (cheap antec 300 case button) and I've tried cycling the PSU multiple times. What gives? and did this PSU just kick the bucket?

EDIT: I disconnected the 8 pin and the 6 pin going to my GTX 280 and it fires up right away.

I'm thinking this PSU kicked the bucket.

EDIT: Tried another rail and she works fine. arghhh
Does this mean my PSU is dying? Sorry I've been out of the tech world for quite some time and this is my first build since 2004

No it doesn't really mean that PSU is dying. Just means that you have to setup which parts draw from which rail.

okay, thanks for the quick reply. I've been reading that some antec models are pretty unstable and are buggy as hell, so that was my first thought.

Look at the chart here.

That single 1 x 8 pin 12v connector probably goes to the MB and you need to use those PCI connectors (both 6 and 6+2) on your card.

Is that the way you had it connected?

yeah I think I probably had that connected when I did my cable management.
