PCCHIPS M848A V5.0 problem

Dear all:

My old Epox 8RGA+ motherboard was dead (bad cap problem), so I bought a
cheap PCCHIPS M848A motherboard (V5.0) in the hope to replace it. After
I installed it and turn the power on, first the CPU fan would start
spinning, but then after like 5 seconds, the power will automatically
turned off for some reason. Does anyone know what might be the issue? I
heard that this motherboard is very picky about memory, the memory that
I'm using is Corsair CMX512-3500C2PT XMS3500 (which is probably PC-3500
I believe, rated at 433Mhz CL2). Does anyone know whether it is the
memory problem? If so, what are the memory that are tested to be
compatible with this motherboard (V5.0)?? Thanks!
