:!:Dear friends, I have connected the header pins that are responsible to boot up the computer namely JPF1 Header. I have connected the header pins at the righteous place as I know and the computer starts with LED turning on.

Now, next day I start my computer the led doesn't glows resulting in "No Display"
1) I open my cabinet
2) Press the headers tight
3) close my cabinet and hit the power and everything seems alright
4) I Play,.. Play Play & I Shutdown my PC..

Next day Hit the power button & watch my Monitor with "No display"
again I goto <step 1)> repeat and everything works fine again.. Changed the cabinet and had same problem.

I got this problem after a replacement by MSI Since my earlier motherboard was under warranty.
I Doubt that is my replaced motherboard faulty
If so will I again get a replacement?

& yes One more thing Everything on the motherboard i.e LED near CPU's Heatsink Fan glows, and DVD Rom works but the monitor shows no display.
The monitor doesn't starts until n unless the Power LED Glows, for it to glow I have to press the header everytime. I am worried that frequently pressing headers may damage my Mobo completely.

My full PC Specs are as follows
MSI 890GXM G65 Motherboard Brand New Replaced
AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE
Kingston RAM 2GB DDR3
Corsair 550w Power Supply
CRT monitor
Keyboard
Mouse combo :p
Cabinet Rs.1500 i dont know the exact name
One wooden table on which cabinet is sitting
Haha ;)

May be its due to the headers coming from the cabinet. (not sure)

Can I replace the headers of cabinet to new ones? Where will I find short headers because I think the present headers are quite long.
