When I press the power switch the fans come on for about 2 secs then go off for 2 secs then come back on again and stay on. I have tried everything I can think of. Taking out everything but the motherboard, 1 stick of ram, the hard drive and the graphics card and still the same problem. I have also tried moving around the RAM, clearing the CMOS and checked everything is seated properly and all connections are correct. I have the 24 pin ATX power cable, 8 pin CPU power cable and a molex 4 pin on the motherboard for the GFX card all plugged in. The monitor is definately working and I have tried plugging it into both outputs on the GFX card.
Any help would be appreciated as I am running out of ideas. I would try swapping some of the components but the only other parts I have are from the system this is replacing and they are all defunct standards that won't work together.
