My computer powers off when its vertical!!!

[cabernet]

My first computer build, I'm pretty sure I got everything hooked up right, now when I first turned the power on my computer was lying on its side horizontally, it powers on just fine, now I put it up vertical and now it powers off in 20 seconds, what could Possibly be wrong that causes my PC to power off because its in a vertical position???

 

[Cleric7x9]

um, i have never in my life heard of this problem before. if you have the computer off, make sure it si vertical, then turn it on, does it power on?

All I could think is that maybe there's a short somewhere. Pull the mobo out and perhaps reseat it? Or try it on some cardboard or something?

Or the mobo could be touching the case at that angle causing it not to power on
