Hey guys! I went through the sticky. Just built a system using new and stuff from an older system.
Z170XP-SLI Gigabyte Motherboard (new)
i5 6600K (new)
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 (from older build)
NZXT Phantom 410 case
Gigabyte GTX 660 (from older build)
Corsair CX500 (from older build)
and hard drives/SSDs from older build
Still waiting on RAM to come in but figured i'd power it up to see if things are well
However, I am getting a boot loop (no post, no display complaining about RAM, etc). The whole thing powers on for a 1-3 seconds and shuts off, and reboots again. While doing this, the case, CPU, and PSU fans turn on and off. Sometimes it stays on longer, other times restarts quickly
The lights on the motherboard do come on (and turns on/off with the rest of the fans)
EDIT: VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n36R0cH6onI
What's been done
- reseated the motherboard - same result
- tried it with NO CPU - same result
- removed the GPU (and plugged DVI directly in to MB) - same result
- unplugged Hard drives, HD audio cable, USB 3.0 header cable - same result
- PSU is working fine in the other computer
Is this reboot thing expected with no RAM with new boards these days?
As an aside, the motherboard CPU fan header had a bent pin but after twisting it back, it seems to be working fine (CPU fan is spinning even though it stops along with every other fan as it restarts)
Is a sign of a busted motherboard? Bad case? or bad PSU.
Any help would be appreciated! thanks!!
