My Pc, which is recently built, has some issues. It was working find so I decided to bring it upstairs to use it and install drivers. When I brought it up, it was not hit hard and maybe just some shaking. When I tried to turn it on, it starts for a second and then turns off. When I unplugged the cpu power, it works fine. I already contacted Intel and got a new cpu but it doesn't work. I was hoping if anyone could help me. It would be highly appreciated.

I Don't know if this would do it, but the heatsink has a small dent in the copper. I recieved it like that so it wasn't damaged when I moved it. It was working with the dent. I think it might be the board, but it starts all the fans for a second before turning off and turns on some lights before stopping so it might not be the board.

Again, if starting the board having only CPU and CPU fan installed and still CPU fan turns off right after start, then it's a board issue, since CPU already replaced. There's a short.

You are probably, correct now that I think about it, the motherboard was loose in the case because it couldn't fit correctly and maybe the cpu was pushed into it. I will test it another day to finalize it. Thanks a lot, I will tell you if it works another day.
