Hi,
I got a computer that power off a second after power on.
I remove Ram, HDD and etc. It left motherboard with CPU and beep speaker.
If I remove CPU power connector that 4 pin connector, The motherbord works correctly and no poweroff, If connect 4 pin cpu power motherboard will cut power for a second!
I remove CPU and do the test and it does same. 4pin connect equal power off.
I did test the PSU, It's work correct however I try other PSU and the result is same!
I assume the motherboard is dead, but I'm not 100% sure so I'm asking for help here.
Thanks in advance

Check your CPU cooler and the thermal paste. Sounds like a thermal shutdown. Paste should be applied in the center of the top of the CPU about the size of a small pea. Then attach the cooler securely (but not too tight). The thermal paste will flatten out all by itself.

Thank you for the kind reply, I did that at first place. The result is same!
As I said in the first post, even remove the CPU from the motherboard, The motherboard is cutting power less than a second while 4 pin CPU power connector is connected.

If I remove 4pin CPU power connector, motherboard works without cutting off the power.
