Not sure if this is the right thread but here is the issue,
I have bought components to build a decent computer for personal use. Parts can be seen here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2mnQH
While building it outside the case (to test it all worked) I discovered that when booting up the computer, the fans would spin for 3 seconds and then they would stop, the computer probably shutting back down.
I have tested the power supply with a paperclip and it seems to be functional (fan spinning and all) so it seems it's a motherboard issue. I have tried turning it on without the graphics card installed and the single RAM stick in different slots.
One thing that did help was when I reset the CMOS, afterwards the fans would spin for 3 seconds before stopping instead of not spinning at all.
Also, I'm not able to fully insert the 24 pin connector in to the motherboard (as in it wont click/latch) but it goes "90% in" at a bit of an angle. I don't know why it wont go fully in and maybe this is the issue?
If you have any ideas what could be wrong they would be appreciated. If this would be more appropriate in another forum section please do redirect me
