New build not working

[Wayne783]

Hey guys,

 

I am relatively new at building custom PC's. I recently put together a new build (all new components) and after making sure everything is correct, I powered it on and it turned on fine for about 20secs, gave me a black screen with the message seen in the attached photo. Right after that, the PC turned off on its own. Then started powering up and turning off on its own in cycles.

 

I have also attached an image of the list of components installed.

 

I would greatly appreciate any advise from someone who has experienced something similar.

 

Thanks.

Odd, I typically only see that on boards where stuff has been changed (aka, a used board)

I'd start with resetting the BIOS, and see what happens.

 

Quote me with your experience so I get notified you responded to me

I tried that. Still no luck. When I power it on, it immediately turns off, the on, then off, then on, then off etc. etc...

Ok, we do this the hard way.

 

Take everything out of the computer case, and set motherboard on something non-conductive like a phone book.

Insert *only* the things needed to power up (1 stick of ram, video card if needed, leave CPU and cooler on mobo, of course), keyboard, but no mouse

Plug in power connections to mobo and if needed, video card.

Find jumpers on mobo to power up the system (use a flat blade screw driver if need be, and of course check your mobo manual on how to do this if in doubt)

Power up system, see what happens.

Report back.

Okay, so I have narrowed it down to either the CPU or Motherboard. Problem is, I dont have a spare CPU to test in my rig...

 

I removed/unplugged all other components until it was just the bare PSU, Motherboard and CPU plugged in, but it was still stuck in the 1 second boot loop. Tried a different PSU, same thing happened. So it can only be the CPU or Motherboard...

 

Not sure where to go from here now?

Does anyone know if the symptom I am experiencing is prone to CPU's or Motherboards? I am hoping it is the MB, but I assume it is probably the CPU based on the original error message mentioning either CPU or Memory?

Typically it's a mobo issue. While I've seen CPUs go bad, it's far more common to mobos to die than CPUs.
