Unplug everything from the mobo except power supply and video card.. see if it comes up.

sounds like it could possibly be heat related, double check and make sure the heatsink is seated onto the cpu properly....its easy to get it sitting a little sideways but it needs to be perfectly flat.

you got it

Most motherboards have censor that check if a cooling system (CPU Fan) is connected, if not the result is power for a few seconds then automatic shut down.

you will be the first i'm saying this to but...

you should never try a bootup without a fan, lol.

Most modern cpus melt down in a second or so without a heatsink/fan.
