    New PC build starting for 18 sec, then rebooting once, no signal
    « on: February 17, 2017, 11:58:47 AM »
    Hey guys,

    So yesterday I built my first own gaming PC. However it simply won't work. As stated in the title it turns on for ~18sec, reboots, and then stays on giving no signal whatsoever. (I tried the Monitor with my old laptop, works fine)

    I already tried breadboarding (right term?), so now I only have the CPU, CPU cooler, power switch, 24pin and 8pin connected to the motherboard on its box. Also tried using a friends PSU because I guessed that's where the problem is coming from, not the case however. Still the same problem.

    So now I guess it's the motherboard or the CPU? What to do next? I'm clueless..

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    EDIT: of course I also have RAM connected to the motherboard. 2 sticks of 8GB RAM in A2 and B2. Already tried switching and only using one stick of RAM.

    Have you tried re-applying Thermal Paste? The symptoms point at CPU thermal shutdown to me.

      That's one of the few things I actually didn't try. Might as well do that right now. About the size of a piece of rice right? Sorry first pc build as I Said  ;D

      I already put the processor in a second time and it was fully covered in thermal paste (thin layer tho!). Is that how it should be?

          Re-applied the thermal paste, still no changes.. and I'm sure I did not put too much or too little. Any other ideas?

          Regardless...whenever the CPU is removed the process should start from fresh...

              Still out of the case. Some Corsair 550W. And yes, checked the compatibility.

              What is the full list of all components?
              Does this motherboard have a built-in graphics?
              Does it have a on-board speaker or noise maker?
              What do the keyboard lights show?
              What voltages can you measure on the motherboard?
              What is the full name and model of the motherboard?
              Can you provide a link to the motherboard manual?

              They are known for 1/2 way decent units...and utter garbage...
              Just sayin.

              Which PSU did you buy for this build ? ?
