so I purchased a barebones kit I think it's called

Right! So I got everything put together and when I started it up I got nothing on the display. the fans were running and all. Then I came here and found this: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
I went through it and tried each step that applied to me (I don't have a video card for example). I took the motherboard out and have it sitting on my table just in case it was being shorted by the case.
I'm at my wits end. When my friend recommended I just build it because it would be cheaper, he failed to mention that you have to be an engineer to do it.
I'm not sure what to do now. I feel like taking the thing and throwing it in the trash, but it costs too much money.
edit: forgot to say that at the moment, while it is out of the case, I only have the RAM, Processor, and power hooked up to the board. the hard drive is disconnected.
edit2: oh and when I turn it on, it will run for about 23 seconds, then the fan will slow to stop for a moment and everything comes back on and stays on. almost like it is rebooting or something.
