Hello guys, first time poster.
I've gone over numerious posts and narrowed down my possible problem. But not sure on how to fix..

Anyway in short i've taken everything off my motherboard but the PSU and cpu. When i turn the computer on it starts but when the plate is pressed down that sits on top of the cpu to hold in place. The computer turns off.

Previously i had everything set up an took parts off till i found the issue.

The motherboard and cpu and PSU are brand new

Any help i'd be greatful for

off the top of my head it might be shorting somewhere when you press the plate



 
Why are you pushing down on the CPU when it's running in the first place? You can break the CPU and socket that way and short out the motherboard. It's like saying "my car start up fine, but when I start hitting the engine with a sledge hammer it goes off".
