So, I bought a new mobo and CPU for my rig.
After I installed it all into my case, I try to start up my PC, but it shuts down after few seconds, showing only the BIOS screen most of the time.
I decided to breadboard, to see where the problems are, which I saw was a good idea on a troubleshooting list.
First, i breadboarded the new stuff, only CPU, mobo and (older) PSU. It did exactly the same thing, start up and shut down after a few seconds.
I then breadboarded my old CPU and mobo, and they worked fine. So my PSU is fine.
The beep code i get is the one that says I have no memory inserted (which is correct).
Did i install something wrong, or did something break? I have no idea what the problem is.
Thanks already
Specs:
CPU: i5-4690k
Mobo: Gigabyte Z87X
PSU: Corsair CX-750M
