I am so beyond confused.

Okay so my old computer started having issues so I decided to build a new one only keeping my SSD and HDD. Only issue is computer will start then immediately shit off again. Here is everything I tried 

1. At first I switched to my old psu while having motherboard, ram, and CPU. THE BIOS CAME UP FINE. So I assumed it was obv the new psu I called amazon to replace yatata. However, after putting computer together the same thing happens after I put all my parts in. (Starts immediately shuts off) 

 

2. Unplugged HDD and SSd from motherboard. Still same issue 

 

3. Quadruple checked wiring everything plugged in. 

 

I really don’t know what to do. These are all new parts. Need suggestions stat. Thanks! 

 

Mobo: MSI LGA 1151 300 Series Intel Z370

 

intel i5 8600k

 

 

Ram ddr4 hyper X 2x8gb

 

dead on arrival was the best EVGA bronze 650w bq 80+ 

 

then cpu fan cooler master 212 evo 

 

graphics evga 970 ssc

Edit: I’m using the psu that worked a seasonic 650 until I get a new one. (This is the one that booted the bios)

Okay now this just got weird. When removing the sata cable that connects the HDD and SSD from the psu the computer now starts however no bios screen anymore.

Got the bios up by switching hdmi to graphics card currently trying to figure out how to get to boot, any advice appreciated.

Dumb question: did you put the standoffs between the case and the motherboard?

I was thinking similarly, Is there a short somewhere?  Probably not no standoffs because then the power lines from the psu would short and trip something/blow up something, but it could be a short somewhere.

Stand offs are in. I was able to get it running after booting with no power to ssd or HDD, then later plugging in the SSD. haven’t plugged in HDD yet. Scared lol

Try a different SATA port.

Try a completely different sata harness, this once happened to jay from jayztwocents where he swapped sata harnesses and it fixed his problems. Might not work but worth a shot
