I just bought a new system and put it together myself. I had a bit of an issue, forgetting the standoffs, but I put 'em in, fired the system up and it was doing just fine. I installed Windows successfully, it rebooted a few times through the process. So far so good; all normal. After running it for about ~15min after install, I rebooted to see how fast it boots up on my new SSD. It shutdown, but it didn't turn back on. I tried turning it back on, nothing. I waited a few minutes, tried again, my cases LEDs flicked on for half a second and shut off again. I did have one of the side panels open still, although I doubt it would burn in ~25 minutes because of something like that.
Could you guys list me any cables and parts that if burnt/disconnected it will act like that? I know a few, could you guys add a few more, to help while I can be careful about what I do so I don't do more damage?
CPU and CPU cable both create results like that.
Also, if I get it booted, what software can I use to diagnose any abnormalities with most/all my parts at once? I know Core Temp will allow me to see CPU temperature, so I'll likely check that, but anything else to be checked?
I am personally afraid it was the mobo since I attached it without standoffs.
I am plugging it back in to test, but I'd like to know what to check ASAP so I don't do more damage.
Edit: Okay, it turned on. What do I need to check for now?
New Edit: It shut off after thirty seconds then rebooted imediately. That was without the GTX card, so there is no way an SSD and CPU was taking up that much energy from the PSU.
