Specs:
Phantom NZXT case
ASRock x79 Extreme6 Motherboard
Intel I7 Processor 2011 socket
1000w Kingwub Lazer Performance series power supply
Antec25 Kuhler H2O CPU Cooling system
240 GTX graphics card (dont laugh)
Muschkin ram 2100 mghtz 4gig x2

OK so the problem I am having with this is a re-boot problem. I push the power button and it turns on (none of the fans start) and then turns off and repeats the cycle on its own. My friend also put his computer together today and he has the same case as me. Completely different everything else and we are having the same issue. I was wondering if I hooked up something wrong from the case to the motherboard, but I do not know what to look for. ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
 
Pull the memory and see if you can hear the post beep error code for no memory. If no, then most likely you have something not plugged in right or you bent the socket pins for the cpu. Check to make sure the power cables are hooked up right, pull all drive cables from system, just motherboard,front panel,power cables,video card,memory, should give you post. Also that power supply is twice what you need with those specs. A corsair 550 or 650 performance series would have been enough, unless you plan on going multi video card with a lot more demand than a 240.
 
If above doesn't work, pull the motherboard OUT of the case and set it on a non-conductive (wood, tile) surface and try it that way using the pins on the motherboard to start the PC. That will rule out something touching the case AND the power button itself.
