Computer turns on, then off

WatShmat

My computer turns on with fans, leds, and stuff, then turns off after about three seconds.  Nothing displays on my monitors.  I have tried un-plugging everything from usb and changing where the pc is plugged into but no result.  I've tried the motherboard power button also.

 

 

CPU:

 

Intel Core i7-5820k CPU @ 3.30GHz 

 

CPU Cooler:

 

Astek 550LC 120MM Watercooler

 

Ram:

 

Ballistix Sport DDR4 ram  4x 4G

 

GPU:

 

AMD Radeon R9 290x 4GB

 

Motherboard:

 

msi X99S SLI PLUS

 

Power Supply:

 

Can't specify but it is 800w High Power or something made by Sirtec

 

SSD:

 

256GB ADATA SP610 SATA III 6.0Gb/s SSD

 

Hard Drive:

 

2TB SATA III 6GB/s 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5" HD

 

or something like

 

TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 3 (6.0 Gb/S) 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

 

PSU:

 

Not sure no brand something cheap might be the problem. 800w

There may be a short.  I didnt have my door on my tower and the people cleaning my house thought it was a good idea to put my console controllers inside my tower.  But it had turned on after they had done that so idk.

That's taking out the little battery on the motherboard right?  Will that have any other effect on the computer other than possibly fixing the problem?

Sounds like something is shorted out here.  Check to make sure you don't have an extra standoff under the motherboard somewhere.  I'd also disconnect everything you can from the motherboard aside from what you need to make it work (one stick of ram, CPU, GPU) and try powering on again. If that works just add one component at a time to see where the problem is.

This issue is solved.  Worked by doing the thing where I turn the PSU on and off many times.
