I just put all the parts together, and I pushed start button on the Computer case. It worked at first, and all of the sudden the Computer shut down by itself when I was installing XP. When I restart it again, my screen is not showing up anything (The screen is in power saving mode). The whole computer is doing what is suppose to do. The graphic card is running, the power supply is running, the HD is running, CD ram is working, and the light on the motherboard is on. The Memory stick is doing fine too. By the way, the Green light and the red light on the computer case is not showing up either. It was on when the first time I started it.
This is what I have:
AMD x2 3.0GHz
Geforce 8800GTS
250 GB SATA
Motherboard: ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI
500 W power supply
Memory: GeIL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
People suggest me to take all the parts out and reseat them, but what if that doesn’t work?

make sure all connections are tight. if still nothing start with the graphics card and uninstall it then put it back in restart the puter and see what happens.
sounds like its either this or a power supply that is weak or not big enough to handle the load.
I didnt check, but your motherboard may have onboard video, and you will need to connect your monitor to that port until you get the video card configured.
There is absolutely NO WAY that that PSU is going to handle the 8800GTS. I recommend a good, quality PSU at about 600w to 650w.
