Ok so I just flashed by bios on my Asus Sabertooth x79, I downloaded the newest bios and rename it SABERX79.CAP. I notice it was .cap and my default bios was 1203, I just got done putting this computer together today and I get this problem where everything turns on but it will just power down and repeat itself.

See if you can reflash the Bios version that came with the mobo disk.

How do I do that? The problem is the computer won't stay on for more then 1 sec and it will just shutdown, come back up for 1 sec and back again to shutoff (a non-stop loop). I tried taking out the cmos and nothing, moved the jumper cables to the 2&3 pin back to 1&2 pin = nothing. Everything powers on is just the computer won't post or stay on for more then one sec.

So you can't even get to Bios, when that happens, pretty much the mobo is done, unless you get another same mobo and you remove the bios chip and soder to your mobo.

Update: I called Asus Tech Support and explained to them what had happened. I told them the same thing here, except that everything was powering on and it wouldn't last more then one sec. I also just finished my build yesterday and I had it running about 3 hours (everything was running smoothly) prior to me flashing the bios.

So they told me that motherboard was not problem as it was powering on everything (case fans, thor logo/lights. power supply fan, mobo memory light, a red light by the cpu), more likely the Bios chip got corrupted. I noticed that the computer is trying to turn on, but the problem is it can't communicate with the OS meaning that the Bios is corrupted.
