I can't find anything wrong with my setup... everything is correct I believe. Been building it the past few days with one mobo already not working on me (didn't read the CD-Rom drive), so I got another mobo hooked everything up the same way and now it won't turn on. But when I click the front power button, it only stays on for about half a second. The fans spin and lights just flash and then it turns off again. This is also my second power the supply... the first came with the case and didn't have enough pins to connect to the EATXPWR plug... so we spent $80 on a quality new one (tis quite a lot I know) and it worked all yesterday when I was trying to get my CD-ROM to get noticed. Then today when I plugged in the new mobo... nothing. Help!

I need this computer working tip top in less than 12 hours.

BAH!!! After hours of labor... I found out that the mobo was touching the back of the case, so it was shorting. Simple solution: Unscrew some screws. Solution for later: Rubber washers to go behind it.
