Issue with booting

[Fatman]

That is a power error. Reseat all your power connections and make sure they are all slotted home.

I concur.

The BIOS beeps are continuous short beeps.  I'd suspect power first (especially with it powering on for a few seconds the fewer components you have installed), memory seating second, and finally motherboard (to include a short, to the case, for example, bent CPU socket pins, etc.--not just a bad motherboard).

I only saw an OCZ PSU once and wasn't impressed, so I don't know its quality; do you have another PSU you could try/borrow?

No sir and I have emailed my PSU suppliers haven't relpied.

  Had a look to all the replies .....without going into the who, what, how and why and what's been covered so far ..... I think you're at the get the board tested stage ..... if you are confident you had the hardware config correct ..... and you tried at least two different sticks of ram and the resulting boot was the same ... it's down to Board-CPU the PSU ..... what ever is easiest and cheapest to get tested first ....go this path.

  my own personal thought are .... if you firmly believe the nest is fine .... the memory is good and all the kit is listed as compatible ....99 out of 100 it will be those three in that order ..... lucky for you all carry warranties .... it's a matter of picking the most logical one so you don't waste time and money

  After saying all that ....if you can beg, borrow or steal a loan of a PSU or CPU for testing purposes .......

It is a continuous short beep recurring. This means power failure. It could be just one of the rails isn't outputting the correct voltage or the board has a short to the chassis. The next thing to do is as Fatman has already suggested and that is to build it up outside the case.

Remove the motherboard from the case and test it on the workbench.

Make sure that you observe anti-static precautions.

Lay some cardboard or use the motherboard box that is non-conductive on the worktop and remove the motherboard/CPU/heatsink/fan/buzzer/one stick of memory/graphics card and PSU from the case and put it on the cardboard. Add the keyboard and mouse and try and boot. The system should try and make a beep or series of beeps. Please post what sounds it makes.

I will try this shortly, thank you man.
