Hahaha, I've seen this happen so many times - it's even had me confused for a couple of minutes before

It's always the simple things that get you

LOL that darn power switch on the PSU gets me every time.Almost as bad as when my PS2 keyboard connection pulled 1/2 way out and a quick visual inspection was not good enough to spot....20 mins of checking a thousand other things and I finally think to check everything is plugged solidly.
