my pc won't start.. ?

i have built a gaming pc,

the specs are

- 4gb ram

- core to quad (Q6600)

- graphics card (XFX 9800GTX+)

- motherboard (gigabyte ep45 - ds3)

- 500Watts PSU..

It worked fine i even managed to install windows vista 32-bit os on it, but i shut down the pc and tried opening it and the lights come on for less then a second and goes off again..

(i have took out the CPU power cable and tried turning it on, and it works, the fans come on with lights, but obviously wouldn't show anything on monitor..)

i have changed the CPU cable but i still get the same result.. it dosent start up...

what could it be??

    The CPU is powered by the motherboard. What cable are you referring to?
