Hey guys! i just finished building my new PC (first ever build).

when i turned on the power everything seemed to be fine but then i hear a sound coming possibly from the PSU and the GPU turns off.

My specs are:

Asus strix x99 motherboard
i7 6850k
Ripjaws V 32GB (4x8) DDR4 3000mhz
Asus Strix 1080 OC graphics card
Samsung 850 pro 512GB
Samsung 850 pro 128GB
WD 1TB 7200RPM
Corsair H115i water cooling
3 120mm ThermalTake RGB fans

The PSU is a Corsair AX860I 80 Plus Platinum.

i made a video of what exactly happens when i turn the system on.

Any reason why this is happening?
 
Solution
You don't have a CPU cooler installed , of course it will shutdown to protect the system.

You shouldn't do that.

Never try to boot a build with no cooler installed , you can cause damage.
