Forums seem different since the last time I was here so sorry if I post in the wrong spot!
Hey there. I've been reading a lot about this stuff.
Earlier tonight I was rewiring my pc. The wires were messy and I had been putting it off. After setting it back up, I found that it would not boot. It had worked completely fine previously. Upon pressing the power button (or shorting it) the cpu fan turns on for a few seconds, winds down, power goes out, and then it repeats endlessly until I turn off the psu. I tried a second psu from an old working computer and the same thing happened. I'm not sure the culprit, but from what I've read it might be cpu related. I recorded a video and ill upload it to YouTube really quick and post the link here so you can see what's happening. I will also remove the cpu fan and take a video of the thermal paste and stuff. I dont know how it could have overheated or anything but it does look kinda crusty.
