Okay, because I read that when you have a M.2 SSD it will disable to of your SATA ports.

Any other suggestions? Still no luck

Did you remove the CPU in the process of cleaning it?

[JustJohn101]

I have just tryed another stick of ram from a working pc and the same result. Only remains on with no ram installed. I did notice i small chip on the paint between the cpu and ram on the mobo. Its is directly on top of a wire and i can see the copper but it does not look damged. Just thought i would mention but it might have been there a while im not sure.

Reinstall the ram cards.  Make sure they are fully connected!

Hi, yesterday i took all of my pc apart to clean it all an manage some wires. I have done this many times and as always i wore my anti static wrist band and took all the usaul precautions. 

On assembling it all again i turned it on and it would continuously start up and turn off with no display untill i turned the psu switch off. I searched alot and tryed all the suggestions. If i start up with no ram at all then it stays powered on with no display. Ive tryed 3 different sticks off ram 1 at a time in dimm 2. Ive reset cmos and tested the voltage on the batt. Ive tested the psu. Took out both hdd and ssd and tryed to boot from onboard graphics. 

It has happened about 5 months ago aswell and taking one stick off ram out fixed it that time, but ive tryed an older stick off ram thats sat in a box for about a year and should be fine. Could anybody give me any advice it would be greatly appreciated. 

Specs. 
Cpu-I7 4790k
Mobo-Msi gaming 5
Gpu- msi r9390
Ram-kingston 1866mhz 16gb (2x8gb)
Hdd- seagate 1tb
Ssd- samsung 850evo 256gb
Psu- evga supernova 650w

I actually had to face something similar, my pc kept on rebooting on a loop and it booted just fine without the ram sticks. Accidentally  I over-tighten the cpu cooler when i was putting it back together and it seems like it was messing with the memory controller, once I loosen the screws a bit, it worked.

I did actually tighten the mounts because one had become loose so I will try loosen them after work, thanks.

Also, make sure that you didn't bend any of the CPU socket pins, that could cause it too.
