I cannot seem to get my PC to work, I just built it and when I plug it in the screen says no signal and shuts down/ In the tower the lights, fans, HDD and the optical drive appear to be working in that they turn on. The power however does not stay on it seems stuck in an endless cycle of turning on and after 2-5 minutes to turn off and reboot and repeat the cycle.

I tried many normal trouble shooting things like making sure the front panel connectors were fine, using DVI/VGA with both the integrated and graphics card. switching up the ram slots and only using one card at a time. making sure both power connectors to the motherboard are connected. Please help I am feeling very discouraged.

Yes I tried several things on that list before i posted. I will need to buy a motherboard speaker to see if I can hear anything. The lights for the disc and power come on. Does it matter which SATA slot I use for the things that need it?
