I have just installed an i5 4690k with stock cooler and a new z97 mobo and when I boot up it shows the 3 dots for a split second on the windows logo and then restarts. I also cannot boot into safe mode. It boots into startup repair fine but finds nothing wrong. The CPU temp on bios is about 33-40 degrees. I tried setting all fan speeds to full speed to see if it would cool it but it didn't work. Also I removed stock thermal compound and added artic MX-4. Help would be appreciated, thanks!
PC shuts off half a second into windows logo screen.

Hybrism :
I plugged in a prior HDD. I fixed it now though. All I had to do was go into the BIOS and change the HDD sata controller from ATCI to IDE. This thread can be closed, thanks
Running AHCI is faster than IDE and has a better compatibility/function with later pc's and software (IRST, MEI etc)
You can change from IDE to AHCI without reinstalling Windows
1) Run the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
2) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
3) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
4) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide
5) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
6) Shut down
7) Start up again, but before Windows boots go into the BIOS configuration screens and change the disk mode to "AHCI". Save the new BIOS configuration and restart so that Windows boots.
When Windows starts, it will detect the change, load new disk drivers, and do one more reboot to start up with them.
