I have hooked everything correctly into my computer with a Foxconn NF4UK8AA-8EKRS Motherboard and plugged everything in. But when i hit the power button nothing happens. The only effect when the power supply is turned on is the lan lights flash for a split second. What could possibly cause this? I have tried other powersupplys with no luck. Any suggestsions would help.

Could be one of three things, either your motherboard is faulty (check the capacitors for bulging) and is not getting the power to the processor, the processor itself has faulted, or it's simply a flat cmos battery, as this can cause none starters.

it wasnt buggling it was capacitor bulging, and the cmos battery is very easy to change its on the motherboard called cr2032 its flat disc shaped.

Okay thank you. I think it is something else than the motherboard as i had the same problem on the first one i recieved and RMA'd it and am still having the same problem with the new motherboard. Could you explain what buggling is? Is a cmos battery easy to replace and is there any way to make sure this is the problem? I have an alternative processor that i will try. Thank you for your help
I tried the other processor i had and still no luck is there a chance that the front panel with the power button is not working? How exactly do i check the capacitators? Is there a chance it is my power supply and how would i check for that? I will continue to try differnt things like ram and ram slots.
Okay thank you. I tried changing the battery with one from an older computer. I will contintue to try different combinations of batteries, memory, and processors. Thank you for the help if anything else comes to mind it would be appreciated. I will also look for bulding thank you for the picture it is very helpfull
Intermittant no-power up problem. Thought it might be power on leads, nope...power supply leads..check OK...very perplexing. If I jiggle all the cables. pull and reseat power cord it will fire up but I can't isolate problem yet.
