Also check for a short circuit. I had a motherboard where a trace was
connecting to one of my (metal) standoffs. The result was that the board
would boot out of the case but not in it. Perhaps you have a similar
problem.

Also, check to make sure that it's grounded properly. My friend had
almost
the same symptoms and it turned out that it wasn't grounded correctly.
Good
luck.
