Too true. My first computer build was a frigging nightmare. which made things worse some components were second hand, and others were unbranded. I kept turning it on, and it would shut straight off.

I had to take out every piece one by one and restart to see if at least I could try and get the system to stay up. In the end I got down to the motherboard and processor. It still did it. Last gasp I took the mobo out of the case in case it was shorting and.... it was Re-did all my spacers, put it back and worked just peachy.

My language was quite colourful up until I found out what the problem was.
