Hey,

My friend just built his computer and everything seemed to be successful until the end. When we booted it up, it continuously began a post cycle, only staying booted for 5-7 seconds, then shutting off and restarting the cycle. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Friends Parts:

CPU: i5-6400
GPU: RedDragon RX 580
RAM: 2x 8Gb 2133MHz
PSU: EVGA 500 BR 80+ Bronze
Motherboard: Gigabyte H310M
HDD x2 1 TB

It hasnt allowed us to boot to a screen. There are no graphics available. We're just now turning it on for the first time.

That power supply is probably too weak or border-line (It's hard to tell since the POST doesn't require the maximum power.) Make sure the PCI-E 6/8-pin connectors are plugged in (in modular PSU's make sure they're connected on both sides.)

The H310M motherboard is not compatible with the i5 6400. Same physical socket (1151), but incompatible chipsets. You will need an 8th or 9th* gen Intel CPU for that motherboard.
*9th gen may require BIOS update

i5 6400 + RX580 will only need about 300w under max load.
