Ok, so I just finished building my new computer, and I hit the power button and it turned on for like 5 seconds and then everything turned off. All of the fans work, the heatsink works, the mobo light turns on, the psu fans and heatsink of lcd screen light up. I wore an esd bracelet, rubber bottom shoes and stuff. The mobo doesnt have an onboard video card so I cannot unplug the vid card. Thanks.

Well if you just build it, it can be a lot of things. Make sure the power supply is correctly connected to the mother board, that's the must common mistake people make ( i do it often too xD).
well the mobo light is on and i reconected it twice, And btw the dvd drive does open and close, and I took both pieces or ram out and tried each seperatley, they both did the same thing
well a chip couldve blown also make sure all the wires are plugged in teh right place check instructions that came with the motherboard to see where they go, there should be somthing there.
Start ripping stuff out piece by piece, and try turn it on after you've taken it out. You should hopefully get start up system beeps which will tell you if there's a fault.
