Hello,
I just competed my first PC build and I ran into an issue. The spec list is below. So I installed all of the parts into my case last night, but I only had 2 SATA data cables instead of the three needed to run the optical drive, and 2 HDs. As such I decided to connect only my SSD and Optical Drive to the motherboard/powersupply while I installed the OS (did a boot from Disk to install). Windows successfully installed and updated software. After which, shut down the computer and turned off the power supply. I then went and disconnected the Optical Drive since I didn't need it right at that moment, and swapped my SATA power and Datacables to my second HD (non SSD). From there I went to power back up the pc, but ran into an issue. Immediately after pressing the power button on the computer, all the components look like they get power (CPU Fan spins, monitor blinks on from sleep, etc.) for literally about 2 seconds, then everything shuts down again except for the front panel power led and the lan led (there may be more on, but that is all I can tell). I am unable to even get to a BIOS screen to switch where the system should boot from, etc.
I have no idea what happened between installing windows and trying to boot back up. The internet was not accessed, and I was wearing a static protection strap anytime I went into the system. I tried to disconnect disconnect all SATA devices one at a time, and eventually all together to see if that was the problem, but no such luck. The fans in the case spin up for a second, then slow down and stop all together.
Any idea what happened and what I can do to resolve it. Again this is my first build so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do to even troubleshoot the issue.
