So I have purchased some parts for a new computer, and after I put the parts together, the system turned on, made a quick short beep after 3 seconds, then the fans turned on at a faster speed, then it made a louder beep after 8 seconds, then it shut down after 22 seconds. The system never outputted anything onto the monitor.
So I then took everything out of the case, and connected up only 1 card of RAM, the cpu, cpu fan, mobo, PSU, and mobo speaker. It still does the same things and then shuts down.
Here are the specs:
CPU: Intel i5 4690k
RAM: G.SKILL RipjawsX 4 gb x 2 @ 1600 Mhz (only 1 was used in the last test though)
MOBO: Asus Micro H87M-E
PSU: RAIDMAX RX-835AP 835W
I tested both the RAM and the CPU in another system, and they worked fine (also tested a different cpu and RAM in this system, and it still didn't work). I haven't tested the PSU in another system, or tested a different PSU in this system yet, but I suspect that the problem is the motherboard. Are there any suggestions on what the problem might be and how to fix it?
*Update: I tested the system with a different PSU, and it still didn't work. Now I'm almost positive that this is a motherboard issue. Does anyone know what might be wrong, and if its possible to fix? Or is the only solution to send it back and get a new board?
*Update: There seems that there might be a need to update the BIOS, not sure if this could be causing a problem, I would assume that the original BIOS would at least turn on first.
