Problem description: I just bought a new corsair 230t case and a ASrock h97 mobo . I plugged in the power switch cable but when I press it my pc turns on and then instantly off.

Attempted fixes: I switched around the + and - but it still does it. I have no idea how to get this thing to turn on for real. Please help.

I searched on google and I only found one other instance of this but in that guys case he just swapped the + and - that doesn't work for me.

UPDATE! I am a big babby idiot and I forgot to plug in the ATX12V cables because they weren't marked ATX12V and were in two fours instead of one eight. It works now.

Let this be a lesson to everyone.
