First build problems

Okay my build is all together and I fired it up only to be hanging on the (Verifying dmi pool data screen).I went in and set my cd/dvd to boot first and I have also swapped out my dvd drive and taken the battery out of the mb for reset.It is still hanging up but now I have a (boot from cd/dvd) below the verifying message.I really dont know what is going and I need some guidance to get this pc up and running.

The only way to figure out why a brand-new build won't power on is to take it out of the case and strip it down to bare-bones components. This will eliminate the possibility of shorting in the case, or other miscellaneous problems, all of which have the same symptom: "it doesn't start."

When you see the (boot from cd/dvd) press the enter key.

Threads merged, please do not start new threads on the same issues.

Your operating system CD/DVD could be defective.
Your CD/DVD drive could be defective.
Your ram could be defective.
Your motherboard could be defective.

What made you think your PSU and hard drive were bad?

I was stuck at the verifying dmi pool data screen until I changed out my psu and hd.My os is xp pro and it is brand new.I have also switched drives and that is not the problem.
