Hi guys I just finished my new computer build. I'm at the point where I need to install windows but as I insert the USB drive and boot into it my computer will shut off instantly with a black screen. Any ideas?

EDIT: the internals will still be powered but I have a black screen.

I can get into the bios, yes. I believe it might be my aftermarket CPU cooler may not be on properly.

Do you know how to change to boot to USB?

Yes I have the USB as the first boot priority. I get to the start screen to start installing windows and then it just black screens me

no Blue screen of death? - the monitor just cuts out? Be more descriptive - does the monitor just cut out or does the entire computer die - if it's not that - which parts stop running - send a parts list too and a picture of the inside of ur comp

Got power cable connected to the graphics card?

change an output on ur gpu and try again - if that doesn't work - switch to the integrated graphics

All of these failed. I keep getting a 31 debug code which according to the manual is early CPU initialization

[VinZie]

Try resetting the CMOS, and then use only 1 stick of ram in.

Removes the two old ones and still same results. I get the debug code 31 which is early CPU initialization after the screen blacks out.

I'm starting to think either my power supply is losing power or something else.

How do I go about resetting the cmos?

I would also try a new power supply. When my brother, and I worked on my server build we got the same issue. We changed the PSU, and fixed.
