Too much power

Last response: in Components

Hi. Ive had three of the MSI Z77 MPower now. And ive tried thousands of different things to make it work, except changing the power supply. I have a Chill Innovation Cp-1000M 1000W.

So can a power supply ever give the motherboard to much power, so it may be damaging to the motherboard?
When i try to get the new built pc to start, it only starts for 1 second and then turns itselfs off. Sometimes after the first time I try to turn it on, there comes some kind of delay from when i push the power button on the motherboard, until it starts for 1 second.

On the information to the PSU, it says "1000W continuous load". Does that mean that the motherboard might be getting to much power?

Heeeeeeelp mee...

did you try to start the system outside the case with the parts laying on a cardboard ? also i would check if every power cable are connected to the motherboard and that the standoff post are in between the case and the motherboard .
