As another stupid thought, check that your cpu cooler is plugged into the proper header. If you missed by an inch you'd be in the north bridge power socket, and this board has a default setup in bios to read the rpm of the cpu fan and not to boot if its not receiving signal.

Probably you have to check all connections .. I have build dozens of computers and it has happened to me many times that ;
floppy / harddisc cable was not properly connected graphic/sound card was not firmly in its slot memory modules / cpu Did you forget that your graphic card needs to be connected with a power cable? I think my brother also didnt get past the post screen because of that. Another very nasty problem that happened to me once is that the mainboard was in contact with the case. I had forgotten to use plastic washers which produced some sort of short circuit. The computer wouldn't POST but it all went away once I had installed the mboard a second time with the washers. Keep checking and you will finally get it running .. in most cases the hardware doesnt take damage, fortunately, but care is necessary.

Usually if the CPU fan connector is plugged into the wrong place or not at all, the MB will issue a series of beeps in addition to the startup single beep.

Unfortunatly , the CPU ( connected/non connected) fan was not the problem ,I connect two differents fans ( 3 and 4 pins) to the CPU fan MOBO connector and the PC turn off again and again after the message ...."press tab to show post screen, delete to enter setup
the extra power connector to the video card is connected properly , all three RAMs are properly seated |

Double check to see if the heat sink fan is properly seated on the cpu.
Secondly check to see if the auxillary power to the G PU cooling fan is connected. |

You do have the main power supply connector and the secondary power connector hooked up right?
Most motherboards will POST with the main connector, but due to insufficient power to the CPU will shutdown as soon as it tries to bootstrap the CPU. |
