New build and ran into trouble

[roboduid]

So I just got into building after being a long time lurker of the channel. For my first build I went with a budget build. my specs are:

 

Mobo: Gigabyte B450 Aorus M Micro-ATX

CPU: Ryzen 3 2200G

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 2x8GB

SSD: Team Group MS30 M.2 2280 128GB SSD

HDD: Seagate Baracuda 2TB

PSU: EVGA 600W 80+

 

I had it running fine for a bit, but now I can't even get it to turn on. The CPU, RAM, and VGA lights on the mobo flash, but it shuts off before it gets to the boot flash. I did the the paperclip test on the PSU and it works so I'm not sure what the problem is here. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

did you do something that made it stop working? like ram or cpu overclock? do you have your ram in slots 2 and 4?

[roboduid]

I didn't even get a chance to launch the internet before it shut off the first time. And yes my ram is in slots 2 and 4

Hello mate,

I have the same mobo as you have. So you might have noticed 4 LEDs in the bottom right? Any activity there?

Pls be precise and tell me what all is happens when you press the power button

 

[Hold-Ma-Beer]

I'm all free now and I have my desktop in front of me. I'll be more than happy to help you. I understand mate, I also have completed the build just a month ago

The CPU light comes on for about a second and turns off, then the DRAM light comes on for a second and turns off, then the VGA light comes on for a second and turns off, then the system restarts and that process repeats

Thats a boot loop

any way to fix it?

[Hold-Ma-Beer]

Looks like some startup requirements aren't being met. Pls check the connections thoroughly

[roboduid]

Everything is plugged in snuggly. I have some unused cables coming from the PSU, but it is modular so I just zip tied them and tucked them away.

Was about cpu cooler? Stock?

Yeah

Lets look at this from another angle, what happens on the screen?

[Hold-Ma-Beer]

I mean at what point does it reboot?

[roboduid]

Nothing. I get no output. It reboots before anything displays. Occasionally I get the Gigabyte splash screen, but it reboots before I can press anything

Well can you share a video of this happening?

I can share if you want to see how a similar spec system turns on?

Sure buddy.

 

[roboduid]

It's not letting me put the video in here. Now it won't even get past the CPU light. That one turns on, stays on for a few seconds while the fans spin and then everything shuts off and it does it all over again

[roboduid]

Update: I now get as far as the Gigabyte splash screen before it reboots and does it all over again

It might aswell be a BIOS issue, have you been using BIOS lately?

Try clearing out the CMOS, also if you have a power detecting screwdriver, check if the main BIOS chip has any power.

 

I had similar issue like this and turned out the BIOS chip died for some reason.

I cleared cmos, but still getting the same thing. The board is a refurbished board from newegg, so I wouldn't be surprised if the bios chip was messed up. Although FedEx threw the box at my door, so that may have messed things up too
