After putting together my first ever build, I hit the power button and everything (MOBO standby light on, CPU fan, GPU fan, case fans, PSU fans) starts up for like 1 second but then everything shuts back down and all that remains on is the MOBO standby light. Any help would be great thanks! (and I sure as hell hope I'm doing something wrong and its not a broken part!)

List the specs.

Reset cmos. Refer to mobo manual for how.

Try each ram stick in each slot, power on, if no luck, power off, unplug power cord, switch to another slot, until you can enter bios, and load bios defaults, save & exit.
