Breadboarding with just CPU , stuck in boot loop

[dancooke96]

First time build I know you probably get 100 of these a day. But I can't find any useful information for my problem.

Parts:

Motherboard: Gigabyte B150M DS3H
CPU : Intel i5 6500
PSU: Seagate 450G

I'm currently breadboarding with just CPU , stock HSF and PSU . My Phanteks eclipse 400s doesn't come with a speaker so I have no real indication as to what is wrong. But the CPU fans starts to spin , accompanied by 2 orange LEDS on the motherboad (can't find any useful information in the manual about this). Then after about 8 seconds the fan stops and I'm assuming the power has been cut, this repeats until I turn off the PSU. The PSU is connected to the right places and the CPU power is connected.

Does anyone know what to do?

The PC cannot boot to BIOS or anywhere without CPU AND RAM.
No RAM = no boot.

Lol what did I miss from his OP?

Sorry, I posted this in a hurry last night - I also had RAM connected (should have mentioned that).

The problem was a loose screw that had fallen under the fan slightly, could have been dangerous.
