The lights and fan would turn on for around 3 seconds before it dies again, If anyone help me I'd appreciate it

#

I've tried to :
-Reapply the ram
-Reapply the thermal paste
-Switch the cpu and gpu
-Cmos battery reset
-Rearrange the cables

#

Sometimes it would boot on just fine, remain stable for a few hours and then dies again

Firstly, remove every power associated cables from the components. Then connect one by one. So that you can figure out what's causing the issue

inner parcel Firstly, remove every power associated cables from the components. Then connect ...

How'd you know what's the issue just by resetting the cable?

#

Is there any lights or ways to figure it oit

inner parcel Apr 29, 2023, 1:59 PM

#

Connect the cpu pin and mb pin

#

That's enough to power the pc

#

Leave GPU and HDD if using

#

If you have cpu with igpu, connect the HDMI to it

royal isle Apr 29, 2023, 2:00 PM

#

The mobo doesn't have a HDMI port so I can't really do anything

My first pc build experience was horrendous

#

I expected them to boot up just fine but

#

I was wrong

#

All the parts are new yet issue occur

#

Yup it can be a rollercoaster 😩

Literally only a few days old

#

You sure nothing got static short?

#

I mean you did the build by grounding yourself right?

royal isle Apr 29, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

I built it on my wooden table

#

Shouldn't make any electricity

inner parcel Apr 29, 2023, 3:39 PM
