Intel i5 6500
Zalman 9900 max cooler
Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H
8 gb G.Skill DDR4 Ripjaws 5
I'm on my phone, so I apologize for styling and any other problems associated with writing on a phone.
This is a new set up and I've only provided the information that I'm working with at the moment. This is a brand new replacement for a Gigabyte GA-H170M-D3H that initially had the same problem, but through research and a little help from friends, I resolved the boot loop problem but came across a faulty PCIEx16 slot. I only changed the chipset because the price increased and I wanted the new board to be here before I sent the old one back. To be clear, I had this issue with the first motherboard and resolved it, had it running smoothly until I came across the faulty PCI slot.
With all the trouble I had with the first board I decided to make sure everything was running fine before I connected everything.
I have installed the CPU and the cooler. I have plugged both the 24 pin power cable and the 8 pin power to the board. I have plugged the RAM into the DDR4 1 slot.
I have reinstalled the CPU multiple times to ensure that I haven't fudged it up. I've applied thermal paste.
I'm trying to troubleshoot the same as I did the last time and I'm not getting anywhere by myself.
It is turning on, running for 12-16 seconds before shutting off and turning back on in a boot loop. After the initial turn on, it starts a 3 second turn on loop. It does not pull up BIOS or send a signal to my monitor.
I do not hear beeps as people tell me I should, and I didn't with my last motherboard either.
Can anyone advise me on what to do? It would seriously be my luck if I got 2 different faulty motherboards.
