So, I need some advice. I currently have a Silverstone TJ06 case with an OCZ Modstream 450 PSU. I used a 20-24 pin adapter as an extension to allow the PSU to reach the connection on my motherboard.

It worked fine at first, then I had to hook a floppy drive up. After that, nothing. I tried everything, the LAN light on the motherboard stayed on showing there was power to the board, but the system wouldn't come on whenever I hit the power button. Tried unplugging/replugging everything, nothing. Until finally it started working for no rhyme or reason. Okay, so things are good, I plug in the SATA power cable. Again, nothing.

I have no idea what's going on. There's not a clear-cut cause of the issue for me to recreate it. Any ideas?

ground issue perhaps?

Hmm, yeah, that could be it. But how do I test/resolve it? Never had any issue like this before.

take everything out of the case. Build onto a non-conductive surface.

Could be a faulty power button as well.
