Ok so hers the summary. A while back I moved my system to a LAN party and took it off the water-cooler and attached the retail heatsink. Upon trying to boot the system the power began blinking. On a few seconds then off repeating into infinity. It seemed like the CPU/Mobo were killed after some testing in other systems so I swapped that stuff out and got some new hardware. The following is my system.

CPU: AMD Athlon X2 3800+ (Brand New)
CASE: Cooler Master Stacker
GFX: BFG 7800 GTX 256MB
PSU: PCP&C 510 SLi
MOBO: DFi nF4 SLI-DR eXpert (Brand New)
RAM: 2GB Crucial Ballistix
Sys. HDD: 2x Raptor 36GB 10K RPM SATA RAID
Monitor: Hyundai L90D+ 19" LCD
Interface: Logitech MX1000 + G15
Cooling: 3x Radiator, Dual-Loop, Maze 4
Audio: Creative X-Fi Platinum

So I swapped in the new hardware and im having the same blinking power issue. I tried what PCP&C reccomended for the PSU and it seems to be working. Plugged in a few HDDs and shorted the ATX connector to get it to start, ran fine. Any ideas? Im lost and could really use some help here. Ive been without a gaming rig for over 2 weeks :(

Forgot to add. This blinking begins as soon as power is applied to the board when I turn the PSU switch on. Not when I hit the power switch.

Do you perhaps have another PSU to try? I think you're going to need another one in order to rule out the PSU itself. Also, how are the voltage rails as read from the bios?
