I just built a new gaming computer and finished it yesterday. It ran for about 2 hours then just shut off without making any noises/beeps. Now.. if I hit the power button it turns on the lights and fans for about a second and then shuts off. I tried the paper clip test and the PSU turns my fans and my lights on. Does this mean the Mobo is junk? Everything is brand new! 
My specs.
720 G Seagate HD SATA
NVDIA GeForce 295 GTX
AMD Phenom 4x Black Edition
750W Corsair PSU
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe Motherboard AM3
2 X2G Corsair Dominator DDR3
Any help would be appreciated! This is my very first computer build so I don't know very much on the technical aspects of it.

True. I just don't know how to find out what it is. And I don't have a speaker to hook up. I might try another motherboard tomorrow as a a friend has an extra.
