As most of us have found out at some time;
brand new does not always equal OK.
I have had plenty of hardware that was dead on arrival or dead in days. Check 
the obvious of re-seating all removable parts like memory and cards, and also 
any option cards for second processors if they are included. Shipping or 
moving equipment can loosen things.

Also look at the memory to see if it is on the recommended list for the 
motherboard.
