I just recently purchased everything I needed to build my first pc. When trying to boot the computer for the first time it started up and then turned off within the first 15s with only showing a brief picture on the monitor. First I thought it might be a RAM issue since the motherboard manual did not have the RAM I purchased in its compatibility list. I then went ahead and ordered new RAM that was on the list and I am left off with the same problem.
I have also went ahead and done the USB Flashback to update the BIOS due to other posts saying that the AMD FX-8350 will not work with the Sabertooth 990FX without it.
I've checked everything to make sure everything is seated. I'm currently at the point that something isn't working correctly but need help figuring out which component it is. My first guess it the CPU but since I'm a noob I am not sure.
Other info- When starting it up both the RAM LED and CPU LED light and flash a few times then go out until the BOOT_Device LED stays lit up for a few seconds and then cuts off with one final CPU LED flash and the totally shuts off.
Thank you for any info/tips.
My Build:
CPU- AMD FX-8350
Motherboard- Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
RAM- Corsair Vengence 8GB 1866MHz (Current RAM)
CPU Cooler-Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
PSU- Cooler Master GX 750W Bronze
Graphics Card- EVGA Geforce GTX 670 FTW
