installed new system, wont start

[jsn117]

I competly overhauled my PC, but as soon as I hit power the temperature warning flashes and there is no video. all the components are new, and I re-seated the CPU with a xp-90 heatsink and no change.

what could this be?

..did you plugged the CPU fun to the corresponding header?

I'm sure there's a setting in your BIOS that you can check your Temps and shut off the warning(if your temps are ok).

huh?

There's a fan header on your motherboard labeled "CPU Fan" which is what he's asking about.

I never get to the bios...it just never turns on

Where is the fan on the xp90 getting its power from?

 

[jsn117]

straight from the PSU...which is also new

The mobo's going to spaz out if nothing's plugged in to the CPU fan header, it's a safety measure to make sure your CPU doesn't melt down due to fan stoppage. Should be cleaner power too unless the implementation is totally borked. Plug it in to the right spot and try again.
