Computer Acting Weird.

Thread Starter 
Hey guys, I had a question about something that's happening quite often. I'm just about finished with a new computer build, but I'm having an issue. Most of the time, when I press the power button on my case, the computer will start up fine. Sometimes, it will randomly stop and turn off. Sometimes, when I press the same power button, the led on my fans will flash on then flash off almost immediately. Sometimes, the pressing of the power button doesn't cause any reaction. Lastly, my led's will also flash on and off when I press the "CLRCMOS" button on my I/O Plate. Any idea what's happening, and any idea how I can fix this? My rig is in my signature, thanks!

oh dear. well firstly have you mounted the motherboard on its standoffs? if not then its shorting it out (dont worry no damage has been done) if so. have you installed the CPU cooler properly? have you checked the MOBO's 24pin connector? there are many more variables.

Yes to all those questions. But one thing. How can an incorrect installment of a a cpu cooler cause random shutoffs and randomly prevent turn-ons?
