Trouble with new cpu and mobo

[Mark]

Just got an MSI K7T Turbo and a Tbird 750 to replace my aging P2 350. Installed it fine, I think I got all the connectors right. Anyhow, as soon as I boot the computer, it turns on then turns off after about 3 seconds over and over again. I'm really stumped here.

try turning it on from the front power switch after it powers down...

double-check the mobo/switch connectors, i recall a backwards reset switch will cause restarts...

What do you mean by reverse connectors? Which ones can be reversed? Also, when the computer first boots, I don't even have to hit the power button in the front of my comp, I just turn the power supply on from the back and it automatically starts for some reason.

Check power switch and its connecting wires.

either the mb is bad or the connections are bad. why not remove and reconnect the case to mb connecters first, leave off any unnecessary ones to start, eg turbo, then also reconnect the ps to mb connecter just to be sure.
