Power but no boot

Flashie · January 21, 2016

So i just completed completely redoing my computer, as in tearing it all down to the very frame.

I then started rebuilding it from the ground up. Re-managed my cables and had everything sorted in no time. I cleaned most of the dust off my PC and replaced the thermal paste on my CPU.

So then there it was - the first boot after i had it all re-put-together.

I Pressed the power button and my computers LED fans and power LED kicked on along with the CPU fan, for a second or two, and then turns itself off. It then waits a second or two and starts up again - and repeats this process till i hold the power button in and put it outs of its misery by shutting it down ^.

What is the problem here?

The only thing that i could remotely be unsure about would be the front-panel connectors i may have messed up with as its my first time doing that, the rest is routine maintenance i do every quarter.

Start by unplugging everything which isn't necessary, HDD, ODD, PCI (even GFX if you have on-board). Reseat the memory. Test; start plugging stuff back in, bit by bit.

Alright, i thank you for posting your reply. It didnt solve my problem though, but your answer lead me to finding out how to solve it though.

I booted the PC again after posting here, having the same issue. Soonafter, i reseated the ram exactly how it had been when i was having the problem, which was the same way it was seated since i got the PC from day 1.

I booted, and had the same issue. I then resorted to reseating the CMOS battery and booted up again - i then started my PC up, without putting my 970 back in, and had it boot to my second monitor. I then tried with the graphics card in again, and it did a similar issue to the beginning - but stayed on with no output to the screen.

I did another reset after that without doing anything hardware-wise, and it posted and booted perfectly fine.
