i have newly built a pc.
here are the components:
cpu: intel i7 5820k
mobo: msi x99s sli plus
psu: seasonic x850 x-series 80+ gold modular
ram: gskill ripjaws 4 ddr4 2400Mhz 4x4gb (16gb)
cooler: deep cool maelstrom 120v hybrid AIO cooler
gpu: palit gtx 760 jetstream
hdd: 1tb WD blue
casing: fractal design define r4
all these are brandnew EXCEPT the gpu and the hdd. they came from my previous pc.
here's my problem.
after i managed to assemble everything, i booted the pc. IT BOOTS, i checked the bios if it correctly reads the specs. it reports the correct cpu and the 16gb of ram. I DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO THE BIOS, NO OC, NO BIOS UPDATE.
So i went on on installing windows 7, after installation, i am already convinced that i have successfully assembled the PC. however upon browsing the net and installing the basic drivers, the PC shuts down. no error, no beeps no bsods. it just went off. i tried turning it on again but it never came back to life again. when i press the case's power button, the fans and leds will start running, no beeps and no display, no peripherals too. after a few seconds it shuts down again.
i then start fumbling on the pc again to isolate the problem. i really had a hard time since i have no spare parts to substitute considering the components are still rare today. fortunately, i tried removing/reseating the rams, 4 stick of rams. first i tried just using 1 stick (4gb). to my small relief, the pc turned on again normally but it warned me of a changed memory. then i tried to add the second stick. note that i followed the order of slots needed to be populated first according to the mobo's manual (it has 8 ram slots). at this point, the pc wont boot up. i tried reseating for numerous times to no avail, and of course i tried switching the rams and using the other rams. i also verified that all the rams are working by using it alone (on the first slot).
i am thinking it would be the mobo at fault, but i want to hear what the experts will say. please help! thanks.
note that i have made it clear that i managed to boot the pc with 17 gb (and not to mention, it detects my cpu). so, am i correct to assume that i have installed the cpu correct? because this is what i fear most, installing the processor wrong and physically damaging it.
and before you mention it, i already tried clearing the cmos, and reseating the battery.
