So I just finished my first time build and the darned thing wont boot. As soon as I hit the power button it turns on for a half second and shuts down. I am using the Asus Crosshair IV Formula mobo. Looking into it, it seemed like it might be a problem with the mobo and the cpu fan. I have a zalman 9900nt cpu fan. I noticed when I boot everything the cpu fan doesnt work when it is plugged into the cpu fan slot but when it is plugged into the pwr fan slot it works, for half a second. Is the cpu fan the problem? If so what should I do next? If not then what could it be? Thanks for you help.
List of parts:
AMD Phenom II x4 965be
Asus Crosshair IV Formula
G-Skill something DDR3
HIS graphics card (5970 i think)
Kingwin Mach 1 700w PSU
NZXT Alpha Case
