OK, so I finally built my first system (specs posted below) and when I push the Power button the system starts up for a few seconds and then turns off. I have read the sticky about things to check before posting for advice and I went down the list but cannot still for the life of me figure out what the problem is (though I will admit that I am a Noob at this). I've checked all connections, tried different electrical sockets to start up from, etc.
The only other tidbits of information that others may find useful is that (1.) after I plug the computer in there is a single blue light on the motherboard, so I dont know if that indicates issues elswhere as they're are no other lights and (2.) when I hit the power button and the computer comes to life for a few seconds all the fans seem to function fine except for the ones on the CPU cooler. Also, the LED lights on the case light up as well.
My System:
Cooler Master HAF 932 Case
Intel Core i7 920 CPU
Artic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cooler Master Intel Core i7 Compatible Hyper N CPU Cooler
EVGA E758 X58 Motherboard
Sapphire Radeon HD 5770
OCZ Gold 6BG DDR3 1600 RAM
Rosewill Xtreme Series 950W PSU
I greatly appreciate any and all assistance!!!!
THANKS!!!!!!
