So I've recently been building my first custom PC. I've carefully read all the manuals and done everything they said. But luck hasn't seemed to be on my side. First I used the wrong credit card and the payment didn't clear. Newegg didn't seem to think I ought to be informed of this though. Next I got a defective motherboard and I had to send it back and get a replacement. Well now I have again installed everything as I was told and this time when I switch on the PSU the LEDs briefly flash on then shut off. The LED on the GPU is the only one that actually stays on. I don't know weither this is a PSU problem or what but the Manuel doesn't seem to cover it. Specs Below.
btw I used a anti-static wrist strap. Help.

GPU: ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
HD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z87-D3HP LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s
Memory: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3
PSU: Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-750 750W Continuous @40°C
DVDROM: SAMSUNG DVD Burner SATA Model SH-224DB/BEBE - OEM

Specifically re-seat the installed RAM (clean contacts and blow out slots) and reboot to check beeps.

Make sure that the RAM is in the correct recommended slots. If problem persists, try repositioning the RAM to the secondary slots (same colored slots).
Make sure that you have made all of the motherboard power connections and that they are secure. Is your CPU power lead connected? Make sure that the front I/O connectors are correct and secure.

Make sure that the CPU fan is connected.

Make sure that the RAM sticks are in the correct slots.

 
Remove ALL expansion cards, all non-essential accessories. Insert one stick of RAM only. Attempt to boot using the onboard graphics. I don't know gigabyte boards, but you might need a PS/2 keyboard for initial setup instead of a USB. Press DEL upon startup and try to get into the BIOS.
 
Nope... same thing keeps happening. Fans and LED turns on 1 start up then after 1 second the first fan turns off then 10-15 seconds later everything turns off and then on again

btw I don't have another computer with a case speaker in it so I ordered one but won't be getting it for a while
 
I guess I'll just wait for the case speaker... I mean I've been trying to do this for 3 weeks, what's a few more days... ( I'll update the thread when a get the case speaker or find a solution, but I'll still take suggestions)

 
So I got the system speaker today :). Anyway so the beep code is just high pitch repeating beeping noise. I looked It up and supposedly the CPU is overheating :??:. I have the fan installed properly to my knowledge though. The only thing I can think of is tat the thermal paste stuff that comes on the fan, originally got on the CPU the time I got a defective motherboard. Do I need to buy thermal paste and reapply it possibly?
 
It's not really a series of beeps. It's just the same, very short, high pitch beep repeating continuously until the fans shut down then it starts back up when the fans start again. It starts about 1-3 seconds after the fans start up. I tried removing the extra memory and GPU and it still processed.
