I've scoured the internet for guides, troubleshooting forums, and even worked through the troubleshooting thread here on Toms Hardware but to no avail. I received all my parts yesterday and began installing the PSU into the chassis. This being my first build I didn't know what to expect. I unpackaged the Motherboard and found that the pins were crooked. After a few Google searches I took a needle and pushed them back into alignment myself, it didn't look bad at all.. Probably not the brightest idea of mine. I installed the CPU and RAM. Installed the Mobo standoffs in the case and carefully secured my motherboard against the IO shield and flush with the standoffs. Put the GPU in, required a bit more force than expected and worried me. Finished installing everything else.
Then the wiring process.
I followed the video to the letter. CPU power connector, 20+4 pin connector, Sata, Sata power, LED and Switches, Fans, GPU, Molex.
So when I turn the PC on, the LEDs come to life and the fans spin like they should. No display via HDMI however. And after about two minutes it shuts off and immediately comes back to life.
Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
MSI Radeon R9 380 2GB Video Card
NZXT Phantom 410 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Thermaltake Toughpower 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to purchase new componenets that just arrived yesterday.
