I am having an issue with my computer where when i turn it on, it will turn on for about 2 seconds, but will shut off right away. The fans turn on and the cd drive blinks and makes noise, but it just turns off after a couple of seconds. I tried disconnecting the cd drive as well. It then powers back up on its own and will proceed to do this cycle. I have check the following...
-new ram put in (Corsair vengeance 2 x 8gb)
-new graphics card put in (EVGA gtx 560 ti FPB)
-i tried a known good power supply still had the same issue (current power supply is a corsair HX750 and was recently installed)
-I tried another working hard drive of the same OS and brand of harddrive (Windows 7 and samsung SSD 830 Series)
-tried using a different power supply cord, and tried plugging directly into wall.
-resetting the CMOS (shorting the pins to clear) and bios (taking the battery out)
-Also tried using the on-board HDMI port to connect to my monitor.
The only thing left it could be is the processor and motherboard correct? Both are only a couple of months old. They were both purchased at the same time.
-gigabyte Z68AP-D3
-Intel i5 2500K
Please help me or give me some more ideas to troubleshoot. I really don't want to go through the ropes with the motherboard and processor companies. TIA
