Grounding issue

Hi ,

recently started buiding a gaming pc and have the I win dragon slayer gaming case which is stocked on the site ...I have 6 raised points of which the mobo sits on and 2 points were I can screw in brass pins to screw the board into.

However when its in the case the psu see's that its not right and cuts off , but when I remove the mobo and sit it on a box it runs fine .

Any help or advice many thx

could it be somthing as simple as making the screws tighter to the tray ?

No I havent ..if that was to be the case , would it be the case thats the problem ?

I did change the psu and it was doing the same thing

Ok tried it with psu in the case and mobo out works fine ...so I put mobo in screwd down and still starts and cuts off like it did before ?
