So i'm trying to build a pc but turns off and on for no reason! i suspect the problem is in the motherboard or the CPU because i tested the power supply using a paper clip and the fan kept on for more than a min.
Components;
GTX 970 EVGA
Motherboard; Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI
i7 6700k
650 corsair power supply
2 hard drives( 2TB and 600GB) and also a SSD 240GB
PNY Anarchy 2x8GB 2133 DDR4
Corsair H100i v2
Things i did;
-Tested the RAM( removed the rams but the desktop kept on the same issue)
-The Motherboard has a light that turns on so guessing that motherboard does not have an issue
-Did the power supply trick and the fan kept on spinning
-I'm kinda guessing the CPU but still not sure. Read somewhere that i should remove some thermal paste but did not seem logical but did it anyways and still.
P.S; I made sure 8 pin connector is installed. I have a doubt that the liquid cooler is causing all of this because i think the motherboard has a safety feature that it reboots if cpu cooler not installed. Tmw i will go buy a regular CPU fan cooler and a SPU to try if they work. i will update this post for feature builders!
Any help would be appreciated.
Update for future builders!
I found the problem with my Build! Mobo was the problem. Apparently the CPU socket and the RAM slots were not working! I changed the Mobo and at Fry's they took the old one and did some kind of test and he told me they did not receive power at all so the Mobo kept on trying to boot and then fail!
