On-Off Loop

[Raines]

Hi.

So I recently received an RMA for my GPU which was defective and went to install it back into my system. Before this, the system had not been touched other than when I took out the GPU. On starting up, there was an on-off loop with it staying on for at least 8 seconds before shutting down and powering up and repeating the cycle. All fans and LEDs were running during the "on" periods of the loop. There was no display at all when plugged into my monitor via HDMI during the loops.

 

Things I have tried: Draining power, reseating RAM, CMOS reset, turning on without GPU installed.

 

I haven't taken everything out yet and would not like to do that if possible. However, I am suspecting a motherboard short circuit upon doing some research. This system is fairly new ( about two months old) and the parts were all brand new.

 

Is there a high chance the motherboard is dead? Please advice, thanks.

 

System specs as follows.

i5-6500 @3.2GHz

ZOTAC Geforce GTX 1060 3GB

FSP HEXA 550+ PSU

Gigabyte GA-H110M-DS2 Mobo

Make sure all cables are plugged in all the way. Both psu side and component side.

Try reseating everything, so take ot Mobo, GPU, CPU, & RAM

 

also try with one stick of ram, if you've only got one, try nicking another one from a different system

I'm gonna take everything out and reassemble later in the day if all else fails.
