   That is one small case, even with the short depth of the SFX PSU.

Time to double check all connections are firm and secure, and too, it'd be wise considering the cramped quarters and surely kinked up wiring, to jiggle the power wiring looking for a weak, loose, or even broken wire at any one of connection points at the psu and mb. All that kinking places stress exactly where it's NOT wanted. At/On the connection points.

Have you built it outside the case yet? What was the result?

	Hi, first of all thanks for the reply. I have another Samsung 850 evo drive connected to sata, currently disconnected. The blue ray is new, was assembled in the case in the beginning but could never power it up given that I needed a sata to slimline sata adapter first. The sata cable was already connected to the mobo, but not to the BR until I got the adapter. Yes the board has an 8pin atx female plug where 2 paired up 4pin plugs are connected

	It seems obvious that something happened while or right after connecting the BD Optical drive, since the PC was working fine before adding it. Is the BD optical drive new, or have you used it in the past? I assume that you added a SATA power cable for that drive, and the SATA data cable? It seems you only have the 950 Pro as the other drive in the PC? No other drives until you added the optical drive? Do NOT continue pressing and holding the power button down for more than a moment when the PC is in the off/shutdown state. All that does is send the board a power on signal and then a power off signal very quickly, which confuses the board and PSU. You must turn the PSU off and unplug the power cord to reset the board and PSU after you have done that. Continuing to hold down the power button when the PC is off/shutdown serves no purpose and then requires you to reset the PSU and board. Sorry to ask, but is the 4/8 pin CPU power cable connected to the board?

	Hi All, i have built the following setup: Asrock x99e-itx Intel i7 5820k Corsais Dominator Platinum 2x16gb 3ghz SSD Samsung 950 PRO m.2 512gb Asus GTX970 DCMOC Silverstone SX600-G PSU case: cougar QBX after initial issues with Ram compatibility (solved with latest bios - and help from this forum!) and powering up the system (wouldn't post - solved with a couple of CMOS resets) all worked well, windows installed in 5 min and all ran perfectly for a couple of weeks. a few days ago, i opened the case to install an extra PSU cable to connect a blu ray writer, reconnect the power and the pc won't even reach post. just a little power impulse of less than 1 second and then dead. even this would not happen until I wouldn't disconnect and reconnect the power cable or hold the power button for more than 5 seconds. no beeps, no monitor signal at any time. i have tried the PSU on another PC and works just fine. tried with 1 stick of kingston ddr4 2133, no difference i have disassembled and reassembled, mobo, cpu, heatsink, ram and gpu, connecting only the minum required hardware and now the pc powers on, but still doesn't reach post. cmos clear via jumper or clear button don't work, have tried resetting bios memory by disconnecting the battery too (only for a few minutes) other than trying the long 4h cmos settings cleansing with jumper as well (as advised in another post), am i looking for a mobo issue here? i would not really believe in an ESD caused breakdown, since i have wooden floors and rubber shoe soles, never had electrostatic issues in my house, the PC was assembled and sits on a wooden table. thanks all in advance
