I built a computer from scratch for the first time a couple of months ago and one the thing that happened was that it wouldn't start up, well, it would for 2 seconds and then it would shut down and try again automatically. I tried removing all components one by one to try to pin point the issue, but nothing solved it. I then tried to remove some of the screws that attach the mobo to the case, and that solved the problem, the computer started. Later on, when my GPU arrived, I had the same issue and had to mess with the screws to make the computer start again.
Right now it is working fine and I never had the same problem (probably because I never touched anything again), but I'm still a little unsure to what happened.
My question is... should I be concerned that this might be a problem with the MOBO? Is this a common issue? I see that there are insulation little things that can be added for some padding between the board and the case, is that necessary? Common?
This might be completely unrelated, but I hooked up a TV (HDMI) and I can hear (very noticeable) the HDD working through the TV speakers, like a windy noise, if that makes any sense... does that indicate that there is something wrong with the MOBO or GPU? Or is it just interference... cable maybe?
Let me know what you guys think...
Thank you
