Confirm the front panel switch is connected and correct.
Label10. F_PANEL Front panel switch/LED header

If different connection from previous MB you might have to use an OHM meter to find the NO (normally open) set of contact on the power switch and test for closure on the pin out while depressed.

That could be the problem the panel is hard to understand which way the little power on SW goes and the HDD led is on the same panel along with the restart.

I'll play with that problem, cause Arclight says that something should happen even with no ram ...

My HDD is a brand new portable Seagate 1.5TB USB3 plugged into USB2 till I can get up and running loading new Win 7 64bit OS if I ever get that far that is.

Thanks
