Hi sorry its been a crazy few weeks, I would have tested the temps of the CPU via software but that sadly wasn't an option. However, I did use a digital thermometer attachment on a multimeter and it was around room temp (about 30C (86f) it did spike a little when it was on but not noticeably. don't worry I didn't short anything with it. Since I can't the solution I've sent it back to the store I got it from. If any part is broken they'll replace it and send them all back. If any part died to static death (which I doubt since I used adequate safety methods plus the high humidity here) it will only be $50AU to send back and if I want I can replace that part through other means, I will update this page however on what the issue was to help people of the future with the same issue.

Not really... mostly for study and if i can maybe Mac OSX will run on it (coincidentally the parts are comparable. YAY!). But it will be used for gaming, since i like playing indie games and other games with not very intensive graphics there is no need. I do render files quite a lot in Blender and edit videos so one of my friends is gonna give me a graphics card (on the lower end but enough for me). At the moment i'm pretty sure the issue is the Motherboard or the PSU, i tested ram in my friends rig and it works like a charm, as to the cpu i haven't read about anyone with a similar issue to mine where the cpu was the bug, its always the mobo or psu.

Ok did some research, I don't plan on ever having a GPU so would the DeepCool DQ550ST 550W 80+ gold work? **if the PSU is the bug (I bought the psu and fans from a seperate seller (au pccasegear.com) so returning parts will be easier, they have fast shipping) hope that makes sense
-
Ok thanks, I think i might ask one of my friends if i can borrow his old rigs psu. see if that fixes the issue.
-
So you suggest that i upgrade/get a new PSU, maybe the VS550? or maybe any other similar PSU around the same Wattage mark, I hope its the PSU that is the culprit, replacing the Motherboard or ram would be more difficult. Thanks
-
yes, i made sure to swap the sticks around in all possible combinations, including single sticks in each slot. as to bent pins on the motherboard... I've only checked the CPU slot, ill check the RAM slots as well. thanks for the suggestion

tried it and the result is still the same
-
I've tried a combination of all drives and them separately, the results are always the same, sorry for late reply went camping.

I Have multiple hard drives and an ssd, the hard drives are from my old system, some optiplex 780? The ssd is new (SSDSC2KW128G8X1) which is a 128gb intel one. as to bios splash screen, there is no screen output at all it stays exactly the same (yes I've made sure everything is plugged into the right port, the screen only has one HDMI, but ive tried the tv aswell)
-
without without ram the pc starts for 15 seconds, no display output, then turns of and restarts the process

Hi ppl, So first my parts: MoBo: GA-H170-WIFI CPU: i5 6500 RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury ddr4 2133mhz (2x4gb) PSU: Corsair VS350 Cooler: Cryorig C7 So the issue I've been having is that whenever I plug in all the parts (24 pin plus the 4 pin esp, drive power and sata as well) and press the power button in the case the machine turns on, the dans spin as does the hard drive nothing happens on the screen and then ~20 seconds after boot the machine turns of and after 2 seconds the process repeats. I have tried reseating the CPU taking out the wifi chip (which came with the MoBo) and swapping the RAM chips around. the systems light all show, even the one on the MoBo.... is that normal? and replugging the sata and power cables. My hunch is that there is an issue with the PSU or MoBo or I'm just pigheaded and missing something obvious, either way if there is a defective part it would be awesome if any one could tell me which it is, or any other help would be welcome too. btw to all Australian pc builders, i now understand the pain of shipping, 3 weeks it took for parts to arrive!
