I already posted my question on the Epox board but no one really goes there so i shall try here.

Alright, just got done plugging everything into mobo and i turned it on and gave a sigh of relief until about 3 seconds later it powered off and started giving off a buzzing noise. I can only get rid of the beeping noise coming from the case speaker when i turn off the psu. The problem is the mobo just shuts off so i cant tell what the little red thing in the bottom right says. Ive done everything like take out the battery and reset the CMOS but nothing seems to work. Please help, and dont tell me its probably something went wrong when i insulated the cpu (this is in my fridge cooled water rig)
 
Hmmm...

The little red LED says FF when it comes on then shuts off and makes a beeping noise. According to the Post Port FAQ:
1. Bios Chip inserted Incorrectly
2. Incorrect Bios Update version (havent even gotta comp to boot so its not this)
3. mainboard problem
4. Add-on card inserted incorrectly (addon card?)

Okay so is it more likely the BIOS is in wrong or i damaged something insulating the mobo. I didnt do anything that wasnt told to me on this topic. Put neoprene around processor and dielectric grease under, then silicone around the outside and then did a few layers of it to cover the top of the waterblock. Please tell me its not my fault!
