I'm using a SilverStone ST55F-G 550W PSU with my new build. The system powered up when I first pressed the power button on the case, but seconds later it shut off on its own, then powered up again, then shut off again, then powered on and stayed on, all within 10 seconds, completely on its own. I was able to navigate through the BIOS without further issues, but the system shut off again just minutes into my Windows installation.
After that I have not had any luck in getting the system to power up again. I've checked for potential electrical shorts, I've taken the motherboard out of the case and tried booting with only the CPU, with and without RAM. I've been using the "START" button on my motherboard, so I don't think it has anything to do with reversed front panel headers.
My power supply can be jumped using a paper clip, I got it to run on the first try with a case fan as a load. But every time I try booting with my motherboard, nothing happens. The LEDs on my motherboard light up when I plug in the power, so the motherboard is getting power. I can hear a small "tick" noise from the power supply when I press the power button, followed by faint ringing. I think the power supply is getting the boot signal from the motherboard, but is unable to boot for some reason.
My power supply has an on/off switch labeled as "I/O", Right now it's stuck on the "I"(on) position, and it can't be flipped to the "O"(off) position because the switch is spring loaded and it simply won't click into the "O" position. The switch was fine and I was able to flip it on and off earlier, but I don't know what happened, and I wonder if this is some sort of safety feature, or if it's a defect, and whether it has anything to do with my system not booting.
My Specs:
Intel i5-4670K
ASUS Maximus VI Impact
Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB
EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB
SilverStone ST550F-G PSU
Samsung 830 Series 128GB SSD
