New Computer Help

Hello everyone. I just joined hoping I could get a little help. I have a little bit of computer knowledge but I would not consider myself an expert. I just put a gaming computer together for my son, last night we put the power supply and hard drive from his old computer in and plugged it in. When we turned it on we got none of the beeps that you normally get when turning on a computer. The 2 front fans came on and the heatsink fan did as well, for about 1 sec and then it shuts down. I have built about 8-10 computers before and have never had this problem. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks :)

Oh, the green LED on the MB comes on and stays on but nothing else.

Don't know what hardware you have. Did you plug in the 4/8 pin CPU power connector/ PCIe power connector to the video card if you have one? Plus I would reinstall the OS changing out everything.
