See if the RAM is connected properly. try reinserting the RAM by changing the slots.

i think the old pc doesnt like the new cabinet and so refused to stay there

you might want to take a look at the power switch connector which is connected to the motherboard...that might not be connected properly...consult motherboard manual...or connect it the other way around...

@dhanusaud ..... aisa hi hota hai ...... ideas work 4 ur pc only & public pc`s just refuse 2 co-operate ......

happened with me 2, everytime ijat ka kachara .... so now i have stopped visit ppl 2 help in their pc problems ......

:D Really I respect your comment.

Last sunday, my friend called to see his HP Presario Desktop PC. Damn...wht a hell he have maintained his system. PS2 connector for mouse was completely damaged & he said to setup XP SP2 in his system. Okay I did it but without mouse system was useless for him. Oohh..I forgot about USB Mouse....now his problem is solved by USB Mouse...thank god, izzat ka faluda ho jata. :D

Anyway, guys I said my neighbour to upgrade system. He will manage for the same soon.

This new cabinet you are using will not have P-3 ATX power supply.
Use new cabinet but old power supply.
It could even be a AT power supply (Rarely)
Things will work then.
Even i tried a ATX P-3 PSU on My AT mobo with ATX connector
refused to power on.
Try the Old PSU.

What is the mobo manufacturer and chipset?

Maybe you've connected the Power-Switch wire to the wrong place or something like this.

well if he says he is a hardware engineer it certainly would mean something he is not a self learned mechanic I think, heehe.

dhanusaud you realized things quickly, that your neighbour is a muscle for hire, I think.

did you check the power supply, see whether it works or not. connect one black power point to the green one and see whether the fan moves. if it does the ps is ok or else it is kaput
