Struggling with new build. Working with my son, as this is really his project (parts were Xmas present). Have been reading posts here, and learned a bunch about how to build up from few to more parts to isolate issues. Had all parts assembled in case, then nothing happened when power turned on. Started over (based on advice here) and with motherboard outside of case, proved PSU could power motherboard (visible LEDs). Added memory for same result. Installed motherboard into case and added video card. Started noticing recycling issue at this point.
Currently I have motherboard with CPU and stock fan installed, removed memory and video card. Motherboard is installed in case, as is the PSU. PWR connector for case button connected to motherboard, Reset connecters not connected. One case fan connected to motherboard.
When I power on, motherboard LEDs illuminated, CPU fan and case fan are spinning for about 20 seconds then everything seems to shut off for a few seconds and then power on again for another 20 seconds before repeating. Have tried removing battery on motherboard for a few minutes and then reinstalling, no help.
Probably did not leave power on long enough with motherboard outside of case to see this issue. Expect I would see the same issue if I try that. Expecting you will tell me to inspect CPU and socket on motherboard for issues, but hoping for an easier path.
Note: No speaker on motherboard, but I have ordered one (not sure where install on motherboard though).
Thanks in advance for any help.
