[grant.yang.e]

Asus z390 Aorus Pro will flash on then quickly off.

Any suggestions?

No CPU cooler , hopefully you didn't fry anything. That is a big NO NO.

Oops, I didn't realize I needed a fan, my last build was when CPUs came with a fan.
I got everything but the fan today so I thought I would just test the parts so I don't think anything is fried.

Thanks!

Where is the clicking coming from?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

K series CPU's don't come with a fan , you have to order one.

Did it stay running at any point?

If it always was clicking on and off then the board had a feature that saved you, it knew there was no cpu fan, and flicked off. If it actually ran for a bit and then shut off, you may have fried the processor.

The clicking was from me turning the PSU on and off.The actual computer never turned on at any point.

UPDATE: I put in a fan from an old computer but the same problem persists. There was never a point where the motherboard didn't just flash on then off.

Why is it on carpet?

 

[grant.yang.e]

It's not on the carpet directly.

 

[jimmysmitty]

No it isn't. It looks like it is on paper that is on carpet. Paper can conduct static electricity and carpet is a big creator of static electricity. Unless there is an anti-static bag or mat under that it is very possible that the board could have been damaged by static electricity.

Why are you turning it on and off so fast? You never really give it a chance to do much. It's not going to turn on and post by just switching on the PSU it will just get flea power and possibly bump some lights and/or fans but that's it.

When you get the cpu cooler installed turn the psu on and wait a ~30 seconds then press the power button or if your are benching it short the 2 pins where that the power button plugs into. .

Is it this motherboard?

Other than switching on the PSU, do you have a power button attached to the motherboard front panel headers to actually power the system on?
