Another GA-K8NS Ultra Journey

Hi, first time here. Usually I just do the google keywording and search all forums hoping someone is having the same problem as me. But I have yet to see anything like this.
The configuration I just bought, and set up is
Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939
Amd 64 3400
Kingstan "Value Ram" 1 GB DDR 300 PC3200
450 W Power Supply

I assembled it fully, a Dvd Burner, Cd Burner, 1 WD 40 gig for main drive and 1 WD 120 gig, all in IDE channels

When I go to turn it on I get...bumpkiss. Normally I would count the number of beeps, but, there are no beeps. I check the speaker connection on the mother board, its connected, so I try again. Nothing. I switch it around, nothing. I watch the lights on the DVD and Cd drive, and they do the normal switching on flashing, then they go off, then they keep repeating it.

At first I thought it was the RAM so I started pulling sticks, leaving one stick in, changing sticks, still the same problem.

I disconnected everything from the IDE ports, the problem remains.

Then I clear the CMOS with the jumper, it loads, and declares a CMOS checksum error. So I'm like 'Sweet!' and I go to put in the date and restart it so I can get into windows, but the problem returns, it just sits and continuously boots, nothing is on the monitor, and the computer isn't letting out any beeps.

So the issue is, the only way I can get it to do anything, is to clear the CMOS, and then, if I shut it off, I got to clear it again.

Can anyone help? If you need any more information please let me know. I hope to god its a simple fix that doesn't involve me spending money on a new power supply (Generic one which came with the case) but whatever you can do let me know.

Thanks
