I built my new pc this weekend but couldn't get a boot or even a beep from it. The MOBO had a green light showing and the GPU had two green lights to indicate power but that still didn't turn anything on. I figured I had a bad MOBO, so I started taking everything apart and testing each hardware. I got down to just the CPU and MOBO still having power and could not get a boot. I then removed the power to the CPU and my PSU and fans suddenly turned on when I hit the power button. I plugged the power back to the CPU but couldn't get the PSU or fans to turn on with the power switch. I removed the heat sink from the CPU and noticed it was hot. So hot that the thermal paste was being applied to it.
I don't understand what is happening here and I hope someone can help me figure this out.
My specs:
Asus H-97 Plus Intel MOBO
G.Skills Ripjaw 8GB Ram
SeaSonic 550W G Series
Intel haswell refresh i5-4590
Asus DirectCU II R9 280 GPU
Crucial MX100 256GB SSD
