I have had a MSI 875PNeo motherboard for the past 6 months, one morning, the computer didnt turn on! I checked the voltages on the ATX power connecter, they were fine, I also tested the power switch which functioned correctly. I even tried switching the power and reset switches and using the reset switch as a power switch. None of this helped!!! Has anyone had a problem like this before? Any suggestions?

Double check all power connections and all switches. Can you tell if you are getting power to anything? Make sure you system speaker is connected. You may be getting a BIOS beep that you can't hear.

I have had this problem before. What happened is I tighted the screws on my mobo to tight which made it unbootable. Wouldn't turn on. Try loosen the screws a little bit.
