Just put a computer together and the motherboard is doing a continuous beep. Manual says power fault. Everything seems to be connected up properly. Please help me diagnose the problem =[

Metal stand offs. Tried memory. Two mobo connections are connected.

I5, 4gb ddr3, 650 corsair tx, ATi 6870, v8 cooler, gigabyte p55-usb3, 500gb separate.

All fans come on, then just starts beeping. No picture.

Yes. Everything is connected. One of the stand offs has gone in at a slightly funny angle. But that shouldnt cause that surely?

That's not possible.

Basically the screw head isn't touching the motherboard, but the stand off is in correctly underneath. Wasn't given any spares either.

Tried taking out GPU, memory, CPU fan plug. Still getting same error beep.

How would I know if its the motherboard, and how would I know its the psu?

The computer isn't even mine. I was building it for a mate. He has taken it home and is going to call ocuk tomorrow.
