Computer booted up for 1 second, then shuts down

hi all, first post here :D not sure if this is the right section, delete it if im wrong

today, i bought a new hard drive cause my first one is fulled, after putting it in, the computer wont boot up anymore (well, the fan, and case light went on for less than a second) notthing appeared on the screen or anything. no beep either.

here is what i got:
i7 920
asus p6t
g.skill 6gb
first hard drive : western digital black 640GB
new one: WD green 1.5TB
PSU: crosair 750W
GTX260

i think the 750W is more than enough for everything listed above, and it worked fine before i opened up my computer.

any help would be appreciated, and sorry for bad English,
if more information is needed, please let me know.

Perhaps one of the video card power cables got loose, or one of the power cables from the PSU to the motherboard got loose.

Take out the new hard drive and restart and see what happens.
