So I just had my friend bring his new parts over unopened and I built it for him, but I'm having an issue with the motherboard, or at least I'm pretty sure.
When I went to do the first test boot, it all turned on, and then shut off within about 7 seconds, and would repeat. The fans also looked like they were spinning at maybe 65% of normal speed. It also didn't run any display, not even a mobo splash screen. Before coming on here, I went through the usual RAM swapping and power supply swapping to troubleshoot it. No matter what, it would just shut off and restart, I even took it out of the case to keep it free of any shorting possibility and still no luck. I swapped wall sockets, I took the Hyper 212 off to see if maybe there was something causing a short, but still nothing.
So far I'm pretty convinced that something isn't working properly in the motherboard. I couldn't do a cpu swap because it's an i7 6800k and I don't have a 2011 motherboard.
But I think like it's unlikely that it's going to be the CPU considering that the fans weren't spinning at normal speed. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I told him it was more than likely a mobo issue, and that he should return it through newegg for a replacement. But I'd rather be 100% right and not worry about it being something totally different. Thanks.
