Hey just baught a new case and my pc wont boot, it turns on all fans start but im getting no video and no power to my keyboard and mouse. What could be causing this, i just baught a new motherboard and im having the same problem, all my periphs check out and work in another system, i have an athlon 1.4 with an asus A7v8x motherboard and i checked the board with a new processor and it didnt work either anyone know what could cause this?

Take the motherboard out of the case and see if it will boot. Maybe you grounded something.

Take it out of the case and before you plug the power supply in clear cmos! then plug in p/s, video adaptor, ram, power up and see if it works! Some pc health sections will shut down the mb untill cmos is cleared! Remove the extra stand off it is likely shorting the mb out before reinstalling.

Yes it probably is.
