Help Please! PC won't start

Hi

Hope someone can help! I've just installed a Coolermaster Aquagate
ALC-UO1 on my PC. But whenever it I power it on I just get a high
pitched beep from motherboard (think it is the alarm) and it stays on
for about 20secs then just powers down. Nothing appears on monitor
screen so don't think BIOS has even loaded. Just alarm sounding.
Anyone come across this before?

PC Spec:
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum
Athlon 64 3800+
1 Gb Corsair Ram
Coolermaster Aquagate ALC-UO1

Some motherboards must have something plugged onto the CPU fan header before
they will allow power on, so you could try plugging a fan on it temporally
if there is nothing on it since you installed the water cooling.

Im not a expert though.

Make absolutely sure that you have seated the water block correctly on the
CPU.
