Swapped cases from a DIY-PC orange case to the Corsair Air 240 and swapped CPU cooler from 212 evo to the Noctua NH-L12. Computer will turn on for a brief period but will quickly turn off before the beep codes.
I've had this computer working in the old case and with the old CPU cooler since July 2016. I recently decided to switch cases for a visual update, but with that the 212 evo doesn't fit so I needed a new CPU cooler and decided to spend a little extra money on a nice one, hence the Noctua.
Last night I swapped everything from the old case to the new case and also swapped CPU coolers. The entire computer worked completely fine right before I moved the components over (I check right before I removed everything just to be sure). One thing I did do was accidentally put a small amount of pressure on a corner of the heatsink over the motherboard chipset. The chipset appears to be visually free of any cracks or damage, but the heatsink is no longer stuck to the chipset (it's still held in by the pins with the springs on them, it can just wobble back and forth now).
The specs are: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j3j9VY
CPU: i5-6600K (no overclock)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12
MotherBoard: Gigabyte GA-H170M-D3H
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16GB DDR4-2133
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM <--- This one has the OS on it
Hard Drive: WD Blue 3TB 5400RPM
Graphics Card: Zotac GTX 1060 6GB Mini
Case: Corsair Air 240
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 550W 80+ Gold
My old CPU cooler and Case are:
Cooler Naster Hyper 212 EVO
DIY-PC DIY-F2-O
I also have some accessory stuff:
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DG 24-bit 96KHz
Wifi Adapter: Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I PCIEx1
Lots of case fans (can see on my pcpartpicker link)
Monitors: (Probably won't help but I figured why not list them)
Asus 24" 1080p HDMI (not sure the model #) <--- Run through my GPU
Asus 20" 720p VGA (old monitor) <--- Run through integrated graphics (CPU)
Stuff I've done to try and troubleshoot:
1. Unplug all of the case fans to check if they were shorting, still didn't work
2. Unplug wifi adapter and sounds card, still didn't work
3. Unplug the front panel USB & Mic/Headphone jacks, still didn't work
4. Reseated the RAM, still didn't work (which makes sense since it worked before and I never removed the RAM when switching cases)
5. Tried running while pressing with a delicate amount of pressure on the motherboard chipset heatsink I talked about before, still didn't work
Another thing to note (that may or may not be related) is that before when I initially powered up my system in the old configuration the LED on my mouse would light up orange (RGB I set to orange), and now it lights up white.
I apologize if there is way more information here than needed, but I wanted to be thorough since I genuinely have no idea what the issue is and would like some much needed help.
If you are reading this post Friday Oct 27 I am currently at work and get off at 5:00pm. I can respond to comments but I won't be able to physically troubleshoot anything until I get home.
Thank you in advance,
Kyle
Edit: Forgot to mention that the PC will power on for a few seconds then right off in a loop indefinitely until I turn off the PSU
