Why Wont You Bloody Post!!!!!

Hope some of ye can help me, I'm tearing my bleddy hair out here!

I have a Shuttle SS33G5M that just will not post.

I installed a new HD a while back and just forgot about it, the other day I decided to put an OS on it and find a use for it.

When I turn it on, lights come on and fans spin up, then after about 5 seconds, it cuts out. It will keep repeating this process ad infinitum untill I plug it out.

However, If I keep the 'Cmos Reset' Button pressed it will stay powered up, the hd will spin up and it will not cut out, However it will still not output any video.

What I have tried;

-Reseating the RAM
-Removing everything but the HD
-Removing everything including the HD
-Replugging all the PSU cables
-Testing the PSU (it stays powered on when I cross the green and black wires)
-Trying the onboard video (setting the jumpers correctly)
-Reseating the jumpers that switch between Onboard and PCI-e Video
-Replacing the CMOS battery

However it keeps restarting itself!

Here's a link to the specs

Does the mobo beep when you take out the ram?

Sounds like a problem with the motherboard...
If you have a second psu handy i'd give it a go

Well, I didn't take the most scientific approach to problem solving.
I just took EVERYTHING out and then plugged EVERYTHING out of the mainboard, Put it back together, and it worked!
