I have the same board. Havn't had that problem though. I am wondering if the power switch etc is on the correct pins perhaps there is a short givint the signal to turn off. Really not sure what else could be wrong. |

Scorchedbee =GCHQ= wrote: im really fed up here, just wasted even more money Don't worry, this happens nearly everytime I've installed a new motherboard, normally something minor... Hmm sure theres not anything shorting the motherboard out, stray back pins/standoffs or anything? Extra power to the video card plugged in? And what ratings your power supply? 8800 is a greedy git! |

Also check the fans are working and plugged in the correct sockets, bios won't let the computer start if its plugged in the wrong socket. |

check the bios to be working - if you get no error beeps and its not working then the bios is probably narked - take the battery out for a couple of minutes to reset it. |

Yeah I should have said that, bios and dodgy standoffs seem to cause half these problems... http://www.overclockers.com/articles1290/index.asp |

built it outside the case on foam, fans spin for 1 second and lights come up then immediatly no powerm tried removing cmos battery for a 10 mins then try again, no avail. tried resetting cmos, tried build with bare minimum on update ok just tried booting with only the mobo, no ram/cpu/gpu, tried nto boot and stayed on everything working (well not working as there no components, but the machine stayed on, will add cpu now and see, then ram/. |

That PSU is likely to be the problem mate. I'd recommend anything but an unbranded PSU for a start and 620Watt+ should be ok... but seriously. Unbranded PSUs... don't touch 'em with a barge pole.

Problem 1 = you bought an intel chip! Problem 2 = you bought a nvidia gpu! Solution = scrap the lot and get decent components to replace the shoddy crap = sorted  ps j/k = drunken xmas so much more fun
