With the MB outside the case on a wooden surface
and nothing connected
except the power supply plug and the front push button, all that I get is a
twitch from the cpu cooling fan, on only the first push, after that nothing
until it sets for a while.
This sort of thing happens with AT power supplies if there is insufficient
load.
Does the power supply cooling fan rotate?
You can check by adding extra load like a hard drive
Important hint. Don't hold the PS button down. It overrides all the
safeties
in the ps - I'm something of an expert in ATX power supply meltdowns. I'm
on ps #7...
