K7S5A won't turn on

[bill]

Specs:
Aspire turbo case, comes with ATX 350 P4 Power Supply(Horizontal) w/
I/O Switch
K7S5A
512MB PC2700 DDR RAM
AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Retail

I installed the mobo into an aspire turbo case. With the RAM and CPU
installed, when I plugged it up, the fans would turn and the lights on
the case would show for about 1/4 of a second then nothing. On
repeated attempts to turn it on, it would do nothing. If I unplugged
it and replugged it, it would do the same thing and turn on and off
very quickly. Has anyone had this same exact thing happen to them???
Tomorrow I'm gonna check the spacers beneath the motherboard and make
sure they're not touching any traces. I never did check the back of
the PSU and fool around with the switches there. I'm sure the CPU is
firmly installed. If you've had the same thing happen, please let me
know. My email address is (e-mail address removed)
Thanks.

Is not that one of those board that gets shipped with the BIOS jumper jumped
to reset instead of the run mode.??

Yes I have had it a couple of times - it was the CPU or AGP or memory not
seated properly. It is the same symptom as a dead CPU. It must be something
pretty fundamental to stop the PC even starting to get to POST.
Re-check these things and try to boot the PC with the bare minimum
connected - video, memory, hard drive.
