Everything Quits in less than a second

by bob . Updated 22 years, 3 months ago

Self-built system
All brand new components.
Turn on the power supply and everything lights up and fans start spinning. It does this, even without pressing the case’s start button.
Less than a second later, everything quits.
I considered the fact that the motherboard may have been defective. I replaced it with a brand new board. Same thing.
I considered, since it starts without having to press the case’s start button, that maybe the start button was defective. Changed cases. Same thing.
The next thing I replaced was the power supply. Same thing.
Any Ideas as to what is causing my new system to quit before it really gets going.
NOTE: The board has a chassis intrution feature. Does the 2 pin header for this need to be jumped, or something?
I am open to ideas.
