new computer won’t boot

by sedory . Updated 18 years, 11 months ago

I’ve got a really big problem with my new system. To tell the full truth tho, when i first installed it i forgot the spacers behind the mobo cause i was in a rush…stupid mistake, my mobo started smoking and i just sent it back and got another one. I have another problem now, when i turn on the computer the psu starts up and the cpu and gpu fans start to spin once and then stop and 5 seconds later they start up again for a split second and then the system shuts off and a few seconds later restarts and does the same thing over and over. I’ve tested different video cards and different memory sticks (some with 1.8v) and i’ve tried booting with only the memory,cpu and gpu hooked up…the same thing happens every time, i am so lost, all i can think of is that either i got another bad motherboard or my cpu is fried but it looks perfect when i inspect it very closely. please help me
