[SOLVED] Computer Turns On, then Turns Off, then Turns On Again?

[swaqas]

Hi,

Just built a new workstation. And I'm a lil worried about this issue. When I turn on my computer, it turns on, and shuts down immediately, and then turns back on again after couple seconds. Then runs smoothly, without any problem at all.

But when it starts, the fans are pretty loud and fast in the beginning, and then they come to their normal speed and sound.

Here's the video I recorded so you guys can see what's happening.

[video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whk_pSawLAI"][/video]

Specs:
MSI MEG x399 Creation
Ryzen Threadripper 2990wx
MSI RTX 2080ti Gaming X Trio
G-Skill 64GB - 16x4 - 3200
Enermax Liqtech II 360
Samsung 970 Pro M.2 2280 NVMe 1TB
Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic
PSU EVGA Supernova 1200 P2

Please let me know if anyone has a solution to this.

Thanks!

try doing a CMOS reset.

Also, just a pro tip, always record videos of any kind the proper way in landscape.
Because technically, you are holding the phone sideways when you record holding it up like that.
And it's generally a bad habit that could ruin many a perfectly recorded moments in your life down the line.
I've personally seen it. Had many a friends who held their phone that way when recording special moments and it was bad to watch because they couldn't catch all the action in a single frame because it was recorded in portrait mode which resulted in them jerking the camera around a lot.

Haha thanks for the tip Sir, noted.

And no, the CMOS did not help

Is there something wrong with my RAM? I just did a benchmark, and my G-Skill's score is really bad @ 3200.

ram can be due to a couple of things.

Have you overclocked it yet?
RAM doesn't automagically run at those kinds of speeds out of the box.
You have to overclock it to those speeds that they are rated for in the BIOS.

one thing you can do to test everthing is to strip down to the bare minimum.
Since you are using thread ripper, you won't have integrated graphics so you'll need to keep the GPU plugged in.

But unplug all the extra fans (not the cooler fans though)
unplug extra RAM and leave only a single stick to boot from
unplug any extra peripherals and only have monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

Then try to boot and see what happens.

Thanks a lot! I actually tried everything you told me, and yes, I did overclock the RAM. Later I started getting BSODs and crazy amount of errors and freeze etc.

But I found out that G-Skill TridentZ RGB F4-3200C14D-32GTZR is not in the compatible list of MSI's mobo with Threadripper 2990wx. Here's the link> https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/MEG-X399-CREATION.html#support-mem-17

Should've checked before going for these sticks.

So, I'm just going to return these sticks and thinking to go for Kingston HyperX Predator DDR4 CL16 DIMM XMP 3200MHz . Too bad I can't find any good 3200 MHz RGB RAM that is compatible with this board and processor. But now I don't want any trouble so I'm just going to go with HyperX HX432C16PB3K4/32, which is compatible.

Thanks again for the help!

The RAM not being on the compatibility list isn't the issue.
The only issue you really ever run into with it not being on the list, is the potential for it to not run at the rated speeds, and you have to clock down a step.
See if the RAM will run at it's rated timings but at 3000Mhz rather than 3200Mhz.
If that doesn't work, can try 2933Mhz.

Otherwise, may need to go with another kit for sure to get the higher speeds.

I wasn't aware of this before, but am now. Sometimes with having a bunch of RGB connected, the system has to boot twice to fully initialize all the RGB then the system. So the double boot isn't that weird. As long as everything is running as it should after the second boot with no issues, then I'd say it's fine.
