Computer not turning on, but LEDs and 1 fan (barely) work. Please help!

Solution
it sounds like you have something on the board not starting up properly. it is cycling like you say to protect something.

disassembe all your components and put them back in one at a time to see what it is.

re apply all the power wires to the system

then the cpu and ram. make sure you re do the thermal paste. amd check for any bent pins under the cpu.
after this you can power up to see if you get the same issue. if it doesnt do the same continue. if it does there is a problem with one of the installed items

then add the video card

then add hdd add odd

let me know how you go and if you need any more help
