new build not working

uknowist · 14 Dec 2007 at 16:55

just set up new comp but once i turn the power on, it starts up for like 2 seconds and then stops, keep repeating this with no beeps or anything. Anyone got any ideas what this could be?

I have a Abit IP-35E(socket 775) pci - express DDr2 motherboard

Corsair 520W PSU

Intel core 2 quad pro q6600
