Build Trouble

[GaryTheMage]

I'd like to preface this by saying this is the first time I've build a pc and I know little about the witchcraft that goes on within one. That being said I have painstakingly assembled my Pc and the first time it booted to bios fine no problems, cpu temps at 27 degrees no red flags. I then took a break to go eat. After i returned I stuck in a usb stick to try to install windows, after about 30s of inserting the stick the screen went black. I ran through all the things the internet said could be the culprit: lose power cables, improper cpu installation, bad ram, or a bad gpu connection. I checked all these things none seemed to fix it. Having lost all hope I was in the process of putting on all of the body panels and accidentally pushed the power button. The computer booted to bios without a problem. Again i stuck in the usb stick to install window this time an immediate black screen so i pulled the stick out and the bios returned only to go to black screen again after 30s. I am at a loss, any suggestions? It cant be a hardware problem if it can boot without a problem (occasionally) no?

 

Here are the specs:

 

Asus Z-97 pro wifi

Gigabyte g1 gtx 970

i5 4690k

Seasonic X-650 650w psu

Maybe your USB dongle is messing up and drawing too much power so your pc is shutting down to prevent damage.

if i'm not mistaken multiple reboots(black screen) when installing a new OS/fresh system could occus with asus mobo's, everything else should be fine thou, try to install and see if it goes back to installing automaticly, otherwise it might be a PSU problem.

 

(pure speculation)

@Fate Thats what i thought at first too so tried the usb stick on another computer and it worked fine. 

 

@Bsmith It never got as far as an installation it black screened while i was in the bios attempting to change the boot order.

hmm if that's the case i bet that it might be a problem with the PSU, altough that is hard to tell.
