I'm sure you have, but did you double check where you plugged in the power button?
I've had a few what were easy to read, but near impossible to actually connect correctly because of the way the pins were arranged.
Might be as simple as that.


It drove me nuts until I figured it out, then it drove me nuts trying to get them on the right pins.





I would do a close visual inspection (magnifying glass might be helpful, or use a high-res setting on your phone camera)...
Looking for anything on the motherboard that could be shorting the system.

I've never used one on a motherboard before, so I have no clue.
