OK today i have been building my new pc, this is the first time ive tried to build but with all the threads on various site i was feeling quite confident i was up to the job

my specs are

Leadtek GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail 1
Antec P182 Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Gun Metal Black) 1
Pioneer DVR-212D 18x18 DVD±RW Serial ATA Dual Layer ReWriter - (Black) OEM
Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 320GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (0A33435)
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail 1
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK)
Abit IP35-E (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard 1
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK) X2


OK everything went well, turned it on for the first time and all was good straight into BIOS and it had found my HDD and DVD drive, so i saved settings and exited without touching anything else, and now no matter what i do it wont stay on, the red light stays on but the Green light (VCC) stays on for about 5 secs then goes off resetting the whole thing

Anybody got any ideas hwat to do or if ive done something wrong or just havent done something im supposed to?

Thanks
Chris
 
I tried it for a minute and it starts and stops continuously , everytime it starts it gives 2 beeps is this indicating something?

ok i tried all 4 sticks in all 4 places and it still gave the 2 beeps as it started up, then i reset the cmos and it stilled beeped but it stayed on (YOU LEGEND) so i can now get into BIOS but now i cant load windows, i choose to boot from cd and it gets to where it says boot from cd then restarts the pc any ideas?

Do i need to do something to the HDD before i can install windows eg.Format? if so how ?

Thanks sooooo much for the help it is appreciated
