Hi All,
I've been a long time fan of this community. But this is my first post.
I'm trying to upgrade my PC. I just installed a new CPU and GPU and did some cable management. After putting it all back together, it won't boot and keeps turning on and then off and then on... the cycles are around 2 or 3 seconds long.
So I stripped everything off, testing again as I went: First I unplugged all the other drives, then the GPU and Wifi card, then the RAM, then I took the mobo out of the case with just the CPU on it and tried it on a brand new PSU - still the same on/off cycle.
I'm really hesitant to take the CPU off because I'd rather not have to go through the whole thermal paste cleaning then applying routine if possible.
Can anyone help?
