Someone Help? Options

ok i know virtually NOTHING about pc's so i really need someones help

i have decided to create a computer and i have a problem

i got a intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz 4mb 1066mhz fsb and a motherboard that says it can support it.

whenever i try to turn my pc on it turns on for about 3 seconds and then shuts itself down.

i have tried using a different graphics card, ram, and even a more powerful power box.

i also used a different motherboard to see if it was my motherboard but the same problem still occured

then i went to get my processor checked and apparently it was fully working

do you know what the problem could be?

anyone???

chillaz only been 2 hours

Find another forum that can help you with this.

A PC technical problems kind of forum. Good luck.

lets wait for the geeks to shine

chailvr your que!

is your cpu working fine? sometimes the cpu can be less powered therefore won't let it switch on

*sigh* if i was still doing my information technology course id be able to help you....

have you installed your all your hard drives? and have you connected anything else like a printer or what not? if so then remove it for now.

heres two links that might help:

List of problems

How to Assembe a PC

For the second link just try following the instructions to see if youv done everything right...

Do you have a power supply that is adequate to support your setup?

650 W

thats more than enough

Allahu 'Alam...got no idea..

sp: cue, not que!

start again from scratch....

I heard from someone something about getting some sort of adapter for the motherboard? Does anyone know anything about this?
