New Build Powers on...and turns off after a few seconds
I'm another newbee to building a computer with a problem.
I only have the CPU, memory, and video card connected. it powers on, and I get 4 beeps, sounding sort of like an alarm of some kind. no error messages on the screen, just the BIOS, telling me that I have a NVIDIA 6600 graphic card. But after about 10 seconds or so, it it just turns off. Sometimes sooner. The first time I turned it on, I got the blue Intel screen... and again when I reset the CMOS. But the power turned off on it's own after a few seconds, and when I restart it I only get that black BIOS screen. I really have no clue what to do anymore... anybody have any ideas?!? Intel D925XCVLK Socket 775 ATX Motherboard Intel P4 551 3.4Ghz 800fsb Socket 775 64T XFX GeForce 6600 256MB PCIe 2x 512 DDR2 400mhz / PC2-3200U |

Does your motherboard manual give you details about the beeps or beep codes?

Are the heatsink retainer pins fully snapped down and locked? Are both the 24 pin ATX and 4 pin auxiliary power connectors plugged in? By the way, the 551 processor is *NOT* on Intel's supported processor list for that motherboard. http://www.intel.com/support/motherb.../CS-021808.htm |

yes, as far as I can tell everything is plugged in correctly. And since I assembled everything out of the case, I also know that the motherboard is not grounding on anything. So what's left... "swap the motherboard"?!?

I would contact Intel support and find out if the CPU nonsupport issue is applicable here.
