Anyone know what would cause this problem? (First boot) by Willdog 03/22/2007, 8:32pm PDT
Put a new machine together today. When I press the power button, the chassis fan and the CPU fan both turn on for about 1 second and then the system loses power.

These are the components:
Antec LifeStyle SONATA II Piano Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450Watt SmartPower 2.0 Power Supply
ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6600
EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Generic DVD/RW Drive

Is this a connection problem or a bad component problem?
