New System Help

[technophreak]

Hi,

I got some new components for xmas and they wont work. I turn the PC on and the power cuts out after ~1 second. I've got the following

Antec TrueBlue 480w PSU
AMD Opteron 146
Asrock DualSata939
2x40gb HDD
Radeon 9200
2x Samsung DVD-RW
USB2 PCI card
512mb DDR266

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Also, could I have damaged the components?

Thanks

Couple of things to try. If you have 2 sticks of ram put one in slot 1 and the other in slot 3. Make sure the CMOS reset jumper is in the parked location. Plug the cpu cooler fan in to the corrrect header, not sure if the board will halt post if it doesnt detect one. Also worth noting thatt he board will reset the cmos if it fails to boot a couple of times.

I'll try the RAM thing now. Couple of questions though. The CMOS reset jumper should be in the reset position or the other one? Also, where is the CPU fan header? I plugged the cpu fan cable into the slot its supposed to go.

Tried putting the RAM in slots 1 and 3. Didnt work.

try single stick of ram, the cmos jumper should cover the two pins nearest the back of the board (left and middle pin) during normal use. The cpu fan header is between the cpu socket and the back of the case.

1 stick didnt work either. CMOS jumper is set to normal.

w00t I got it to boot. It only has one stick of ram in it atm though. The power jumper for my power button on my case had come loose. I feel like a tard now . Thanks for your help.
