all lights and fans power up then off in rapid succession, like every second - nothing to monitor or everything. This is my second failure on this build, my first was as:
New rig - fail <1 sec after boot, fans work!

a few threads ago. I found that I hadn't plugged power into the side of my video card, but it still isn't working now that I have - its doing what I posted above! Anyone know what this is a symptom of?

no ideas? I'm still stuck on this. I know its not the PSU. What would make it constantly restart like that?

Should I try starting it with the motherboard 'out' to see if its grounding out or whatever?
