Hi, I just build a new computer. The specs are:
Gigabyte z97n-gaming 5
corsair h90 liquid cooler
intel i7-4790k
corsair rm-750 PSU

The problem I'm having is I turn the computer on and it idles (the liquid cooler pump starts and all the fans turn on) for 5-6 seconds and shuts off, then turns back on after a couple seconds and repeats the process. An older pc I built had an annoying alarm when the cpu got hot but I'm not sure if this motherboard has that feature. I also checked all of the connectors and they're all seated and clipped in. One thing I did notice is I accidentally stripped the screws on the heatsink (a common problem with corsair parts) but the heatsink is on tight and doesn't wiggle, the screws don't either. I also tightened them in a cross fashion as recommended. Any ideas?
