Power turning on and off in my new build

[BillyPoirier]

This is my first time building a PC and after assembling it, I turned it on and the CPU, GPU and one case fan turns on for about 10-15 seconds until they power off again for 3 seconds and then the cycle repeats.  

These are the steps I've taken to troubleshoot:

-tried re plugging it in to power

-changing the outlet

-took it out to see if the PSU fan was running (it was)

I tried googling the issue but couldn't find any other problems matching mine.

Start by removing rams and only plugging one in.

Gotta give us your specs man. This sounds like typical behavior of a Gigabyte motherboard when there's an issue with the RAM.

I made his specs list and assisted him with the building process online. He has a Asrock mobo.

The RAM and HDD were part of an old prebuilt. They worked fine, I just wanted faster storage and RAM

Do you know if the motherboard came Ryzen 3000 ready (long orange sticker on the box?)

 

I assume so at this point but want to make sure the BIOS is up-to-date.

yes the bios was up to date

Try pulling the CMOS battery for about 60 seconds, put it back in, and try to boot up. I typically haven't needed to do this on a new board, but it's happened before.

The issue was a faulty motherboard
