Basic electical question for hooking wires to motherboard

Sorry I missed telling a step. If I press the power switch, the led
flashes, the fans go for a second and then nothing. If I press the power
again nothing happens until I unplug and replug the power cord in and then
when I hit the power again it happens again.

I did install myself. It is the 10th time I have built from scratch. Last
ngiht I checked further and decided it was best to take into local shop as
there can be too many variables that I don't have time or resourses to
check. Thanks for the help.

That is was one of the possibilitied I thought of. By coincendence the
motherboard instructions are wrong for this jumper.

I thought it might a shorted switch. As I do not have a alternate case or
powere supply to play with I decided it would be best to admit defeat and
get the local shop I bought it from to deal with it.

It can also be shorted Reset switch or Power switch.

Turns out to be a fubared power supply. A new one is order so hopefully it
will be here soon.
