I was just finishing up installing a water cooler when I turned on my computer and then it turned back off again, then on again, repeatedly until I disconnected my PSU. While it was self power cycling, I noticed that during the rarer second type of shutdown I would distinctly here a little click like the one when you would normally turn it off. Also there was a burning smell coming from somewhere. Does anyone know the cause of this problem?

check to see if the cooler bent the mb where it touched the mb tray and shorted out or see if the cooler used a metal back plate and it shorted out to the back of the mb. other issue could be some of the tim paste got onto the cpu pins and shorted out the cpu.
