Hi, this is my first time building a computer. I plugged everything in, and it turns on for literally about .5 sec, I can see the LED's of the fans go on then it goes right off. When I click the power button again, nothing happens. Then, I unplug the wire from my PSU in the back, change the volt to 220 then back to 110, and plug the power cord back in, and it does the same thing. And I have to keep switching it from 220 to 110. I live in America\VA btw...so it should be on 110 right? Thanks..
 
What are the specs of the computer? Off the top of my head it sounds like you may either have bad ram or a processor that is incompatible with your motherboard.
 
Hummm that should work. I ask about the CPU because sometimes a BIOS revision is needed to support newer CPUs (ie 45nm quads). Try one stick of ram at a time, see if that works as well. You're sure you plugged in the 4/8 pin power connector on the mobo too?
