well since this is your first. make sure that u have install the plastic or copper screws under the mother board. I see this alot with first timers. when you dont install those, that mines the mobo's bottom touches the metal plate of your chasis. when that happens it messes up the communcation of the circuits. happen to me with my first build too. respond if thats not that case. :)
