Ok..wierd thing. Yes my cpu fan was a termaltake with sensors. But that was not the problem.

I took the board out..set it up outside the case, removed the block, air cooled it, and it worked.

So...put on new thermal compoung, block back on. Booted it..it works.

Put it all back in case...still works! So..not sure what the heck it was, maybe it was not seated correctly and was overheating. But it happened so fast.

I do not need the cpu fan hooked up for the system to boot now.

Also...the beeps continued for several (maybe 5) seconds after my power supply was unplugged. It must store some power in there or something.

Anyways...thanks for the suggestions..i was not having fun with this one!
