I just built my computer and when I turn it on the fans start but then it stops and then just does this repeatedly.
UPDATE: Now that its started it keeps randomly rebooting I haven't even been able to install windows because of it.

Remove one ram stick and test slot #1 and slot #2 and see if it boots cause a friend of mine encountered the same problem like you did

Is your Sata cable plugged in all the way? Make sure your sata cable is plugged in and locked in place
Is your sata cable faulty? GEt a new sata cable
try using 2x4gb DDR4 ram sticks instead of one 8gb and see if that works . plus your mother board would enable dual channel mode which will increase performance of your computer a tiny bit
Is your HDD with the OS (Windows) set as the main boot?
go to bios and go to boot settings and set up the boot for the hdd as boot 1 that ur OS (windows) is on and set as main boot.
and reinstall windows again. if you keep getting failures replace your hard drive

always follow the checklist

Also, is it stable without the graphics card and storage? can you get into your UEFI to get a CPU temp?
