Computer starting and restarting itself after one second

Go to solution Solved by airdeano,

Just did all of that and still no luck, 

 

are you using the MSATA slot above the lowest x16 slot?

 

next is to open a tech support ticket with EVGA. something isn't compatible or

just not functioning correctly. 

Hello, I just put my computer together and it was working perfectly yesterday. Today, I got home and decided to hook up the fan attached to the case side. So i opened it up and gently placed the computer on the side. ( power was off and i was grounded)  All parts are brand new. I hooked up the fan and stood the computer back upright. 

 

The computer now only starts for 1 second and then immediately turns off. on the debug thing C will show up and then itll turn off. I've tried unplugged/plugging in all the power chords back in with no luck. 

 

GPU fan and cpu fan still turn on for the one second. I've unplugged all memory but one and removed all but the power to the cpu, the gpu and the 24 pin to the motherboard but it still continues. 

 

All parts are brand new.

Check your mobo manual for the debug codes. Find the C and that will tell you what's wrong.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

There is no just C in the manual. theres 0C which says for future use. and C0 OEM BDS init. codes

I would hope not. They all performed properly yesterday. The computer turned on fine minutes before i turned it over.

on a couple of EVGA mobos i've used, i'd have to remove all power from mobo

(24-pin, 8-pin, any/all GPU and remove the CMOS battery for 3-5 minutes).

 

then reinstall battery and all power harnesses and retry. these EVGA BIOS/UEFI

are conflicted and buggy. if you still have issues, remove all but one RAM module

and all peripherals (other than keyboard), including HDD/SDD and retest.
