troubleshooting Pc bootlooping: help needed

[frasx]

So:

My PC is bootlooping. Sometimes it lasts longer sometimes it goes off instantly, so i don't know what happened.

 

I got a new case so i took all my components and put them in my new case. The fans start spinning but the power supply turns off after like 5 seconds. Sometimes it lasts more. My cpu runs hot so that shouldn't be the problem. I already tried to change the ram position, or resetting the bios.

 

I'm sure there is an easy fix, but the things i saw online didn't seem to work for me. Hope that someone can help me.

 

Motherboard: asus Z87m plus-ultra

Cpu: i5-4590

First off: your CPU running hot MIGHT be a big problem. COULD even be the reason for the bootloop.

 

Some PSU's like to keep their fan off, when there is low load or very little heat present. So depending on your PSU, it might not be an indication of a bigger issue there.

 

Things I would do is: go back to bare basics. Remove everything that's not required to keep your pc running for a few minutes. So that would include: optical drive, SSD, HDD, GPU if you've got an iGPU. And yes, even all the cables connecting the case to your motherboard. You probably need to check your manual, but it should be possible to start your pc with just a screwdriver. Check if the CPU cooler fans are spinning for a while.

(also check if you've plugged in all the wires to your motherboard. The big 24 pin, but also the 4-8 pin connector to your motherboard)
