    I justfinished building my computer and after hours (and I mean hours) of trial and error I found out that the problem with my computer is the mother board won't get power if it is screwed into the case. Without the screws everything works fine, howeveronce I put even one in the system won't stat up. The fan moves and then the stops. Any ideas how to fix this or what the problem is?

    The mobo should rest in these distances that's supplied with the mobo, if you didn't use them you'll short circuit the mobo. Probably nothing's happened thus far but make sure you have them in there.

    If that's not the case check so you got all the connectors fully in, check the setup once more from scratch.

    sorry some things just isn't in my english vocabulary due to my elk-ish origin ;)

    I mean the pins that keep the mobo up from the bottom / back wall of the chassis. I think you said it there, the stand offs.
