I just finished putting what I thought would be the last touches on my new system, behold, it won't start.

I get one long beep, which is reffered on the mobo manual as a siren (I assume that's what that is).
The manual explenation for a siren is "CPU overheat (on reboot)" Of course I never got it to boot once, nevermind a reboot. It start as soon as I press power, so I know it's not an overheating issue.

Any Ideas?

I'm such an idiot, I forgot to plug in the video card to the psu.
Sorry Sorry Sorry.

BTW, it was a post on tomshardware that gave me the answer, apparently some poor sap did the same thing.
