hey guys
just built a new system today and have run into several issues.

firstly, after installing all the components it would not start. I checked all the connections and then it started up, long enough to install windows 7, all the GPU and motherboard updates...then, poof. it shuts down.

I try to boot it up, lights come on and then it shuts down within a second. After this point not even the lights will come up when you press the on switch.
I thought it was the gpu, so removed the gpu and tried to see if it booted to bios...same shit happened..lights came on, then shut down within a second.

Any thoughts..kinda frustrated :/ 

thanks

You could have a motherboard standoff in the wrong place shorting the motherboard out. Remove the motherboard and double check all stand offs. You could also try the board outside of the case and see if it will power on correctly.
