now, my problem is, i have everything installed, tested mobo/cpu/ram and it booted fine and temps holded as well as voltages from the PS

i connected my molex connectors to my cd-rom drives and rebooted and it posted good

finally connected the HD and the when i hit the power button the system just blips on for a split second then turns off

i tested the HD in another system and it loaded fine on it as a secondary drive.

what could be my problem??????
 
It could pretty easily be that the generic PSU you are using can't hadle the load..try disconnecting the CD-ROM and see if it will boot with the hard drive connected.
