It is a phenomenon that I cannot explain that happens all the time. You need to disconnect all of the power connections from all of your devices and mobo. Unplug the AC too. Now take a paper clip (or similar metal object) and bend it so you have a U shape. Stick one side into the ATX connector where a Black wire resides and the other where the Green wire reside. Now plug in the AC and see if the PSU stays running. These are the two wires that the mobo use to turn on the PSU.If your PSU stays running, now unplug the AC, remove the paper clip, and re-attach the ATX connector to the mobo (and the 12v+ P4 if there). Without the AC plugged, short the power pins on the mobo 3-4 times. Now plug in the AC and short the power pins on the mobo and it should fire up.</blockquote>
