It sounds like the headset preload isn't adequate. Is the top of your steerer a couple of mm below the top of your stem or the top of any top spacer? If the steerer is flush, you can't make the headset adjustment. Also, be sure the stem's steerer clamp bolts are loose before you snug down the top cap headset adjustment bolt.

Are you familiar with the steps to adjust a threadless headset? If not, look on the Park Tools website or any other of dozens of "how to" websites for headset adjustement or headset preload.
Also, if you post all the parts of your headset placed in the order you are trying to assemble them in, someone might see a gotcha somewhere.
