CPU:Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4 GHz, Quad-Core
CPU FAN: Stock
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5
MOBO: ASUS Maximus V
STORAGE: Intel 335 Series, 180GB SSD
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB
CASE: Cooler Master HAF X ATX
PSU: EVGA 1000W ATX12V
OS: Windows 8.1 {64b}
So, putting this build together, and I have everything in. I've double and triple-checked my connections and everything I can personally test but am still having problems.
The computer starts up, runs for about 5-15 seconds, I get a single short beep [the post, I assume] and then it restarts and repeats that; fans and everything powers on for 15 seconds, beeps, then shuts down.
I have tested:
MOBO {I switched it out, same problem with both}
PSU [Have 2 different 1000W PSU's, tried them both, same thing}
GPU {I tried it with and without a GPU, same thing}
HDD {I've tried it with both the HDD in and out, same thing}
THERMAL PASTE {I've reapplied it three different times, same thing]
I am completely at my wits end with this - the only thing I haven't checked is CPU [because I don't have a backup CPU] because my friend insists that CPU's are damn hard to kill without cracking them them and I don't have the means to do it. Just...been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure this shite out.
