Hey guys,

i just finished building my new computer

Specs:
GTX 1080ti gigbyte waterforce
i7 7820k

x299 gaming 3 motherboard (gigabyte)
850w gold rated power supply corsair
watercooled cpu nzxt kraken x42
2TB samsung 850 evo (cloned from HDD)

32GB RAM corsair platinum

Upon turning on the system everything looks fine, all LED's are lit, all fans work, gpu lights are on and cpu cooler works (can hear liquid rushing lights turn on etc)
However if i try to log in or go to bios, the bios is extremely laggy taking up to 5 seconds to move between menus, booting to OS is fine but after 30 seconds max it makes a clicking noise (sounds like its coming from PSU) and shuts off leavin the motherboard LED's on but the system turned off
HELP
i have tested the SSD on a working computer and it boots and functions fine, old drives are on the SSD but i dont think that should make a difference

So either you dropped something metal in it, something broke off inside or you just got a DOA (dead on arrival) power supply in your hands. The latter doesn't actually mean it doesn't function at all, but it doesn't function as it should.

Take it out immediately and get it replaced. Prolonging the use might damage more components.
