I built a new mini-itx system and when I power it on, the fan's go and the case light turns on, but my monitor doesn't turn on, I don't hear a bios post, and the system resets in a few seconds and all this continues.

I've tried starting it with each memory stick individually, but the same thing occurs.

I have also followed the sticky to no avail.

I did go through the guide (that's what I was referring to when I said I followed the sticky :]), but nothing helped.

I ended up returning the Asrock and going with a Gigabyte, and everything works fine. So I had a faulty mobo too :[
