Just finished building my system all new parts. went to turn it on and the fan only spun for a second so i took out the video card and tried it again and vola it booted up the system fan and the cpu fan at full speed. thinking that was the problem i held the power button to shut it down so i could get the installation disks and what not but to my surprise when I went to start it up the second time, the same problem occurred and now thats all its doing.

It would be JUST my luck is my mobo or PSU is faulty. please tell me someone knows the fix.

Don't know if it matters or not but my PSU comes with 2 CPU plugins but my mobo only has one.

Specs:
Intel Pentium G3258 Anniversary Unlocked Dual Core 3.2GHZ
MSI H81M-P33 mATX LGA1150 H81 DDR3
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB
Antec VSK-3000E MINI-TOWER mATX Case Black
EVGA 500W 80 PLUS
Kingston 1x4gb DDR3-1600mhz

Just fried the mobo i think. used plastic standoffs to see if the mobo was possible grounding out on the case and BINGO worked perfectly so i turned it back off and installed one screw where i had it installed before to insure the motherboard wouldnt move and when i turned it on smoke came from the motherboard from a component. Don't know weather to be mad at myself or wanting to take it out on NCIX.

Worse than loosing a pet I have mixed emotions right now haha anyways could you help me by telling me what component i burnt out? Its just back to doing the same thing now (fans spin then off) which makes me think the mobo was faulty all along.
