New Build, Weird Problem

So i just got all of the parts of my build together. At first it powered on great and i was able to get into the bios. I found out that i had a bad HDD, so i got a new one. I got it installed, but when i went to power the computer on it would spin all of the fans for about 5 seconds with no video. After that 5 seconds it would stop spinning all fans and then spin again (non stop). I still am unable to get video. I tried 2 different video cards and still get the same results. I also tried re-seating the RAM and CPU and CMOS. Someone please help.
