Hi, not sure if I'm in the right place but hopefully someone will be able to help.

I've just built a new computer and when I turn it on there is continuous beeping (quite slow) and it won't turn on. If, however, I removed the CPU 8 pin cable and turn it on it seems to be running fine (no beeps). Anyone any ideas on what the problem could be and any solutions? Not sure if its a CPU problem or a power supply one. Sorry if this is vague!

Computer specs:

PSU - CX500 500 watt
Motherboard - P67 SLi EVGA
CPU i5 357k

Many thanks.

does it post with its plugged in or just legit nothing happens at all when you hit the power? Do you have graphics card plugged into the board?
