Hey, i recently replaced my amd motherboard with an intel mobo, bought a pair of ddr4 memory sticks and an i7 cpu.

For some reason after assembling the computer, whenever i try to boot the pc, every single fan start to spin for 3-5 seconds without showing the post screen and shuts down afterwards. Then the computer restart itself doing the same thing over and over entering a "boot loop".

Any clue of how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!!
 
Solution
Have you tried disconnecting EVERYTHING except for CPU, Motherboard, and Power Supply to see if it will behave the same way? In this configuration it should give you beep codes as the ram is not installed. If you do not get beep codes, my guess is the issue is between the motherboard and CPU.

Do you have bent CPU pins? This is very common. Many people when installing CPU's bump the inside of the CPU socket bending the pins. This results in open circuits which will make your computer not boot. Even one bent pin will most likely cause a no boot. Get a magnifying glass and check for a bent pin. If you feel up to it bend it back. Note: bending pins is your fault and no manufacturer or retailer will take the equipment back for replacement...


Yes solved. Motherboard issue. I got replaced and e everything working great without an issue until now
 
Hey guys i'm having the same issue atm, yesterday mid playing it went blue screen and started rebooting itself.
Tdy same thing it keeps reboot looping itself, i can hear the fans working but no video display.
Already tried what some people guessed that might be the issue like cleaning the ports and stuff of the GPU and RAM but still same thing. Tried booting up withought gpu didnt work and no beeps, tried withought all the RAMs and it did beep in regards of missing RAM.

My components are:
CPU: I7 2600 3.4Ghz
GPU: GTX970 SC
RAM: 16GB (4x4)
PSU: 550W
