New Custom PC Problem.

[KyleSmith]

I have a problem everytime i start my new custom pc the cpu fan and the normal fan spin but only spin once then stop. The only things i have installed are the

Prosessor
CPU Fan
Normal Fan
RAM

Any ideas?

For a minimum test you also need video, keyboard and mouse connected...
Some boards will shut down if even 1 of these is not detected on boot.

Yea but it has a intergrated graphics card.

Still needs to be connected to a monitor...along with a keyboard and mouse.

Ok i tried again turning it on without a monitor and mouse and keyboard connected. . I tried removing the ram and now the fans run for longer for about 40-50 seconds longer but then they cut out. I tried readding the ram but then it goes back to to 1-4 seconds but then i readded them and still the same i dont know what the problem is helpp:)

Looks like you might be having the same issue as me. I'm hoping the solution will be to buy a power adapter that allows me to plug my fan directly into the power supply.

Are you saying your CPU fan stops also?

I'm hoping this is a typo as it was suggested to try this with thes Connected...
For a bench test:

Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse
CPU and fan
Vid card if needed.
1 stik of RAM.

Was thermal paste applied properly ?
MBoard standoffs all in place ? ?
4 prong ATX power plug connected next to the CPU ? ?

Tell us about the "thermal paste" and the CPU/heatsink interface.  Did the heatsink come with thermal paste pre-installed?  Was there a "protective" plastic film over it (which you remove before installation)?
