My new computer won't work... Plz help :(

[SwedishGuy82]

I baught a bunch of new components today, and built a new computer. But it won't work.

Here are the specs:

Core 2 Duo E8400
Asrock 4Core1600Twins-P35
4GB (4x1GB) Corsair 667MHZ DDR2
seagate 200gb sata 2
dvd-rw sata2
8400GS

When I start up the computer it freezes after it has shown the amount of memory in the computer. Sometimes it just reboots by itself. And half the times when it starts up and freezes, there are a bunch of colored dots on the screen. I can't even get in to the BIOS.

I have tried different memory, and just one memory stick as well, no difference.

What can I do? I just want it to work

Did you buy any used parts?

Did you try the troubleshooting steps that are listed in the sticky?

The harddrives, the dvd-rw, the memory = used.

But like I said, I tried another memory stick, and that one was new.

Have you tried clearing/resetting the CMOS? Have you replaced the CMOS battery?

Which power supply do you have? How old is it?

Hell, how recently did you buy the new parts?
