BleepingComputer.com: Computer boots over and over.

Agreed with caperjac. Start with the most basic parts first: motherboard, PSU, processor, and a single stick of ram (preferably one tested to be good). Keep adding parts to the setup until you hit a problem with posting -- as this will most likely be the part causing the problems.

I've pulled it out and put it together outside off the case and it does the same thing. I bought some new RAM (GSkill Ripsaw) and with just the CPU, RAM and my GPU in, it's doing the same thing. How do I know if the CMOS cleared? I unplugged the powercord for 10 minutes and switched the jumper for 30 seconds. The DRAM light flashes whenever the computer starts and then it immediately shuts down. About 15-30 seconds later, it will try to start and do the same thing.

ASUS has terrible, terrible support. Incase anyone doesn't know that.

I attached pics of what I currently have plugged in and where.

May sound crazy, but try booting with NO add-on video card installed, if your system does NOT have on-board video, boot with NO graphics card at all, see if the system powers off, all it should do is sound off a system error, but it should still continue running.

If it does, your problem was with the video.

If not, return the video card to slot add monitor, try booting with NO keyboard. Does it shut down? Note: you may get an error no keyboard was found, that is expected, we just want to know if the system shuts down or not.

If it doesn't, power off by unplugging power wire or holding case power button for a few seconds, it should power off the motherboard, if not pull the power plug.

EDIT: plug the keyboard back in, it wasn't the problem, try next suggestion below.

Try again with no mouse or different mouse, a mouse can cause issues as well, specially if it has internal problems or stuck buttons.
