There seems to be a short somewhere................
Check to make sure that the board is floating on the AT\ATX mounting plate......mounted to the risers.
Make sure you have connected all power cords to the board.
p4 socket(amd uses it now too) + atx socket \+ atx backup(if your board supports it).
Make sure that your processor is installed correctly.....
Make sure that your ram is installed properly......
Make sure that your new board is not set to clearCMOS
Some manufacturers set it to clearCMOS during shipping...make sure to move the jumper into regular mode.
If the CMOS hasn't been cleared, follow your manual and clear it.
Check all your other jumpers with the manuals
Check the CMOS battery, make sure its not dead.
Did you wear a grounding clip when you installed the parts. If not...you may have accidentally gaussed you pc.
Make sure the power button doesnt stick.
You could always make the pin connection with a paper clip or jumper but make sure you know what you are doing........
I've had a similar problem with last pc. I had a silverstone case.
Basically, everything was connected correctly but the aluminum button would stick in and the computer would turn on for 5 seconds and turn off.
Make sure you check all the connections from the front panel( power sw, reset sw, leds, speaker, etc...)
Read post codes....if it even goes into post......or get a post card because they can id problems a lot better than onboard post.
Hard drives do not need to be formatted, even with a major hardware change in NT, assuming you are running a nt based OS. That the point of a PNP OS.
If the PSU was overloaded, the machine wouldn't start at all. I've had this happen to me, and the way to fix this is usually to just disconnect 1 device...depending on how much the device uses.
If all else fails, you may have faulty components(especiall if purchased at Fry's electronics)
