i tried:

New PSU
building it out side the case

thinking its a heatsink problem ?

help please
 
Try doing a CMOS reset and try with only one memory module installed.

Also is the extra 4 or 8 pin for cpu power installed.
 
Pretty sure it is the cpu power lead like rjc has mentioned as had the same symptoms with a build at the weekend after forgeting to plug it in.
 
same thing with one memory installed, yes cpu power is installed

will reset the cmos..

same thing with out the GPU

reset cmos, same thing
