Hello Bellard;

The missing video card is causing your problem. CD/DVD drive isn't needed.

Have you looked over the forum's "System won't boot" checklist to see some of the common build errors and how to avoid them.

Ok i gookin all over the mother board figuring out whats what. I noticed a Socket labeled JPRW2 beside the cpu. Figured this is the cpu port.Anyways The plug on my PSU for CPU has 12 holes (4 on end is not used.and are empty Now ive heard alot of people say they can just slide it to the side and use just the 8 But 4 of the pins are not detatchable. Any ideas?

Check and see if your BIOS might have an option to continue on errors.

JPRW2 is the 8pin CPU Aux power connector and must be used. This is probably a fatal POST error.

No 8 pin connector? Can the 12 pin connector fit and get plugged in anyway?

Your PSU specs says it has 2 x 8-Pin EPS 12V connectors and doesn't mention any 12 pin connectors.

Some BIOS power on self test (POST) code will kick a fatal post error on missing or bad video card.

Does your BIOS settings offer an option to bypass errors and continue?

What does that 12 pin connector go to? I can find anything with 12 pins listed in the spec.

Both the 12 and 8 cord is labeled CPU Im guessing both cords are for two diffrent types.

I wonder if the 12pin is for a server type CPU motherboard?
It must be a new option for it not to be on the spec sheet. Maybe something for the upcoming Bulldozer or socket 2011 motherboard. Interesting.

No PSU problem with that excellent choice, I betcha. Just a top notch model.
If there is a problem - it's probably a UPS gorilla handling your parts.

That rules out a missing video card being the reason it won't post.

How deep into the "System won't boot" checklist have you gone?

It doesnt stay on long enough to boot anything. I powers on then powers off 3 seconds after being on and then power cycles over and over

Yeah, that's not long enough to finish POST.

The "System won't boot" checklist is the best way to figure out what it is. I can't do remote diagnostics for you.
