Hello,
I just finished my first computer build and just tried to fire it up for the first time. The screen pops up asking for a bootable CD as I expected, and then about 10seconds later turns off. As I said, it's my first build, but I thought that sounds like a power supply issue (or at least I hope it is if anything), but I could be wrong. Can anyone help me?
PSU: COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS-500-PCAR-A3 500W ATX12V V2.3 Power Supply
MBoard: EVGA P55 SLI 132-LF-E655-KR LGA1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80605I7860

Harddrive: Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Video Card: EVGA 512-P3-1242-LR GeForce GT 240 Superclocked 512MB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
If more info is required to diagnose this problem I'll give all I can if someone could help me.
Thanks a lot
