Hello and welcome to the forum

I assume you have tried the following:

Removed all ram bar one memory module.
Reset the CMOS
Rechecked all connections are tight and the 8 or 4 pin for cpu is connected.
Check the power switch on the new case is operational.

Retry external to the case to rule out possible shorting issue.

Check for a motherboard standoff in the wrong place / or an extra one. It could be shorting the board.

Have you tried running it out of the new case as suggested? you can just put it on a cardboard box or a table or something - anywhere that isn't conductive. This will tell you if it's a physical problem with the installation into the case, or something hardware related.
