NEW PC PROBLEM

After buying most of the parts that i need for a custom computer i managed to put them all together and connect all the wires up.With the MOBO, RAM,PROCESSOR All connected up i tried to turn it on. The computer starts for about 20-30 seconds then automaticaly turns back off suddenly! I dont know the problem which is causing this does anyone have any suggestions

Is it making any beeping noises? Are the fans/heatsinks definitely working?

Any beeps?

Do the fans spin?

Make sure your RAM and Graphics card are both seated properly and make sure you put the CPU in the right way

No noises are being made. The fan on the new pc spins sumtimes varies from 30 secs - 40 secs then either 5-10 seconds.

Ther ram and graphics card are seated properly and the cpu is in correctly aswell.

Your hdd cable pushed in fully? Mine are a bugger to get in sometimes.

These are the parts on the new pc. Just this i have had to change my RAM because i ordered the wrong parts the ram link i added is the wrong one but this should still not effect it turning off instantly.

EDIT: My power psu in the case is 450W

Could have got the DDR# or the MHz wrong.. Easy mistake IMO.

That should do it, DDR3 1066MHz is supported by that Mobo you linked to on the last page.
