Just finished my first build last night. All in all I would say it went pretty well, especially considering when I turned it on, it didn't blow up in my face. It is however booting up oddly.
When I turn it on, everything seems to work fine for about 3 seconds. Then it shuts off. Then three seconds later it boots right back. Three seconds later, off again. It will do this over and over without me touching a thing.
The LEDs on my motherboard indicate that the system memory is working fine. The other one is a blue LED for standby which my manual says will be on as long as the motherboard is receiving constant power. The BIOS is by Phoenix Award (I assume that's what that is ).
What would cause this? How should I test it? Any help is appreciated!

Here are my parts:
Power Supply: Corsair 750tx (750w, non-modular)
Motherboard: EVGA x58 ATX LE
CPU: i7-920
Graphics Card: EVGA nvidia GTX 260 Superclocked edition
RAM: Triple Channel OCZ DDR3
HDD: Western Digital 1tb Caviar Black

If I left any details out that you need, I'll do my best to answer. Thanks!
