New pc won't boot

[DeeMoo311]

Hi,

I'm building my first pc. Before putting everything into the case, I wanted to test run and atleast boot to bios and see if everything is ok. The problem is that, when I short out the pins to turn on the pc, it turns on, fans starts spjning and immediately everything turns of. I tried reseating connector, reseat RAM but no luck. These are the specs.:

 

Ryzen 5 3600

Asrock b450m-pro4

Asus gtx 1660 super

 

Anu suggestions?

try one stick of ram and then they other individually. as a first step

[Scorpio_007]

see if the ram sticks are compatible with this cpu, or try taking the cooler off and putting it back on

[DeeMoo311]

I tried reseating RAM but it's still the same. I check, the RAM are compatable with the mother board.

Something like this happened to me when something wasn't good with my ram, I removed one stick, nothing changed, put the other one in, and it booted to bios, some time later I decided to put the other stick in too, and it then suddenly worked

If it completely shuts down power after your hit short the pins it sounds like a power issue, short somewhere.

 

Make sure your mb is placed on the box it came in with instead of on the desk or something and that there's nothing under it like screws or something.

 

If that's all proper placed and it still does this then try a different PSU.

 

Let us know

see if the RAM is compatible with the CPU not the mb. What ram do you have?

[DeeMoo311]

I do not have another PSU so I cannot test with the different one. The mb is already placed on the top tof the box. Though what I noticed, that PSU fan doesnt even manage to get a full lap before the system shut down. 

[DeeMoo311]

The RAM that im using is patriot viper 8gb 3200mhz. I have 2 of them

cpu power plugged in? what psu do you have?

[DeeMoo311]

Yes it's pugged in. I have corsair cv550 550w psu

[Scorpio_007]

try with just 1 ram stick

[DeeMoo311]

Just tried - nothing. Also check if the cpu is ok and it is. Maybe the PSU is dead?

[DeeMoo311]

It only turns on for a spit second. I putted on the power switch from the case and now it turns on and off rapidly

 

[Scorpio_007]

what cpu cooler do you have? aftermarket? if yes see if there is enough mount pressure

[DeeMoo311]

I have a stock cooler. I think it has enough mount pressure. Atleast the screws wont go any further

Are you able to upload a picture of your motherboard? Showing the 8 pin, and 24 pin connectors, the GPU connection and any others you can manage to get in the same picture?

[DeeMoo311]

Yes I can. Should I unplug everything or leave it?

[Scorpio_007]

leave it plugged in and upload the picture

try putting the ram stick in the 1st slot from the right, don't you have any other psu laying around, just to try if it would turn on?

Without the GPU plugged into the PCIE slot, does it still turn it's self off?

Also, if you quote us with the arrow in the bottom left of a post, we'll get notifications that you replied.

It reacts the same with or without. It still turns on and off rapidly

Can I see the connector you've got into the 8 pin CPU power? Like this if possible

Spoiler

Where your CPU fan plugs in, there's two headers. Are you plugged into the top or bottom of those ports?

try remounting the cpu cooler, if you have thermal paste, i had a similar problem, and it was a bad mount, so try that
