Motherboard cycling power on and off

[Trigmaster15]

Hi guys, if you could lend some advice I'd be really grateful. I'm a total newbie, this is my first time building a computer. I thought I had everything together correctly, but my motherboard does the dreaded endless power loop cycle no matter what I do. Here are my components:

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K

XFX Double D FX-787A-CDBC Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition Black Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

MSI P67A-GD80 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-750 750W Continuous @ 50°C, 80 PLUS GOLD Certified, Single +12V Rail, ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92, SLI Ready, CrossFire Ready, Active - PFC Power Supply

Western Digital Caviar Black WD5003AZEX 500GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - OEM

CORSAIR XMS3 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX16GX3M2A1600C11

I hooked the motherboard up to ram, cpu, cooling supply, video card, and HDD, but it does endless power loop. I removed everything down to bare bones -just PSU, cpu, and cooling supply, but it still does endless loop. I
tried removing all of the ram - same thing. I also tried doing the
CMOS_CLR - still endless loop. I tried using an old power supply known
to work fine, and it still does endless loop. I tried removing the
battery and reinserting it, still endless loop. I pulled all the case
cables out, but it didn't help. That's all I got - people here at work
think it's just a bad board.

Does anyone have any advice before I RMA this board? Please let me know!

You seem to have done all you could for the board. I'm personally siding with the people at work... looks like time to RMA.
