PC won't start after case change?

I believe I've wired it up correctly,but the wires on this case are different to my old one,the wires for the actual case are all separate,there's 3 two pins and then 2 single pin plugs.the old case had all the case wires into one socket.so I'm assuming the way I've done it is wrong and when I press the on switch it's not connecting to the motherboard.

The mono is a h57h am2 and the case is cit vantage gamers case

Have you tried shorting the power switch header with a screwdriver to see if it's capable of working?

Have you wired up those cables to the way it says in the Motherboard manual?

Only other thing i can think of is case shorting..

I can't work out how to add photos,I don't have a mobo manual. The wire arrangement on the old case is different to the new one so I can't work out how to wire it up to the motherboard. The old case was a 9 pin plug with like 1 empty space.these are all on little parts.

The plugs from the case should be labelled.

The header on the motherboard may also be labelled. The motherboard manual should be available to download.

The plugs are labeled .hdd led ,reset sw,power sw, those are 2 pin connectors.then there's two single pins saying power led+.the motherboard port says f panel on it where I'm plugging them in.but do thy need I go in in an order ,which way etc?if the case is shorting it,if I take it out the case and put it on the carpet and try it will that work or damage it?

Also,the connector on my motherboard which is 4 pin just under the psu,I've plugged the cable with CPU written on it in there,is that correct,I found a manual online and it says that should be power?

If the 2 pin connectors have + or triangle symbols on them, assume those are the positive ends. You may still need to refer to the mobo manual (glad you found it) to see the correct layout.

Yes.

Try reseating the motherboard, it could be shorting out.

I have that problem often when I take my PC apart to clean.
