New Build - will not power up

Hello,

Just finished a new build ( 2nd one) and it will not power up. It only powers up for 1-2 seconds then shuts off automatically. When it is on for the 1-2 seconds everything powers up but again just shuts off.

I believe all the connecters are in the right place. I had a hard time at some points figureing out what goes where.

Specs are:

Mobo: Asus P5B-E
CPU: 6400E Intel
VC: eVGA 7950
HDD: 7200.10 Seagate
PSU: 600w OCZ

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance

It still does the same thing.

Sorry also forgot to mentioned the memory I am using

Corsair DDR2 XMS Twinx 1gig x 2 sticks.

I doubt it was the ram as tried one stick of each per test and it did the same thing.

DoH! I figured it out. I forgot to conect the CPU 4 prong power plug. I previous build and upgrade did not have this option so I overlooked it.
