Here are the main components:
-AMD FX 8350
-MSI 970 MOBO
-EVGA G@ 850W PS
-MSI Geforce GTX 970 Graphics
-Corsair H60 Liquid Cooler
-1 TB WD HDD
-120GB Kingston SSD
-Corsair 200r computer case
So I installed everything yesterday and cut the computer on for the first time but after about what seemed like 30 seconds to a minute it cut off. It was late so I checked a few connections and reseated the RAM and then tried again. It gave a message that said something about me adding/changing memory and then after about the same amount of time it cut off again. So this morning I started more seriously looking into the problem. After redoing some connections for the case leds and power buttons I cut it on again and it actually stayed on for awhile. I was able to get into the bios and I was looking through everything for the first time before it cut off again.
Some important notes:
1. Whenever I got into the bios I happened to see that the CPU temp was registering over 80 degrees which I thought was odd.
2. Whenever I cut it on everything seems to work. I see the LEDs in the MOBO and GPU all of the fans spin and even my fan controller led cuts on.
3. I was extremely careful when building as this is my first time, but I don't necessarily feel confident about some of the connections. I had trouble getting the liquid cooler onto the cpu. It took two tries and I'm worried that it's not keeping the CPU cool.
4. I feel confident it isn't a short as I picked up the case and tilted it to here for loose screws and I was very careful not to mount the MOBO on an unused standoff.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
