i built my first pc about 5 months ago and the other day i went to turn it on, it turned on for about 10 seconds then turns off then repeats that without ever actually turning on. like i said I HAS BEEN WORKING FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS UP UNTIL LIKE 3 DAYS AGO. i read on some forums and it said to disconnect all drives and use only one ram. i tried that with no success. also, nothing ever shows up on the monitor
off the top of my head here are the specs
i7 core oem heatsink
msi motherboard
2x4gb ram
500w antec psu (continuous)
120gb ssd
1tb hdd
and i believe thats it.
WHATS WWRONG? PSU?
thanks in advanced

heres a video to kinda see whats going on

step 1 remove CMOS battery about the size of a US nickel, and short out the terminals for 10 seconds to clear onboard cmos. test battery for voltage on tongue will only tickle.
check the cpu and other connectors if you bent a pin on installation. flash bios with proper software from manufacturer for particular cpu using flash-drive. search google for instructions on how to flash Bios.
Install drivers with Free Driver updater - may take a while looking before you can find one that you dont have to use credit card or sign up.
insure that your ram speed is good for that motherboard. Try other ram to be sure, slower the better.
