CPU issues with socket

[KyLo_ReN]

I have put in my cpu to the socket and have put down the metal clip. About halfway, the fans suddenly turn on for about half a second. When I push down on the CPU, it turns on for half a second. Please Help!

What ???? Did you read the manual about to how install the CPU, what about the heatsink and fan, if your CPU is even still alive and you've not fired it, get the manual out and study it.

What are your system specs.

So you installed the CPU with the PSU connected to both the motherboard and the power outlet, that's a big don't.

Hopefully you didn't fry your CPU/mobo, unplug the power from your PSU and finish building it to test if it's still alive.

If you were building it and the fan went off when no power was intentionally supplied to the pc, then there is a good chance that you fried it. For future reference; never build with your PSU plugged into the wall. (Unless you are grounding yourself to it externally.)

Thanks for the reply. Here are my specs:
Mobo: asus h110m-e
CPU: i5-7400
PSU: 450w corsair
RAM: 8gb ddr4 crucial
that should be all you need

I read the manual and built it properly but it didnt turn on. Checked pins, PCIE, PSU. Still didnt work. I opened up the cpu socket to check if it was in properly. The fans turned on for a split second. Then I put the lever back down. Turned on for a split second. Its not like I was completely stupid.

The problem is that cpu is not supported by that motherboard without a bios update first, Intel 100 series motherboards don't generally support kaby lake out of the box, you'll need a sky lake cpu to update the bios or exchange the board for a 200 series board, something like a Z270 B250 or H270

Thanks! I'll flash the motherboard. I've got a i3-6100 in my PC (the build is for a friend). I'll send you a message if I get another issue.

If Seanie280672 did solve your problem please select that as the solution. These questions and answers live on "forever". In the future someone may have this issue and you selecting an answer as the solution lets them know which solution has the best chance of solving their problem.

On a side note, there is nothing proper about constructing a PC with the power connected.

When I push down on the CPU, it turns on for half a second.

When someone enters their chassis the power cable shouldn't be connected.

Myself, I always build the motherboard up on the box it came in, so I insert the cpu, ram and put the heatsink and fan on, before I screw it into the case, then connect things like hard drives, graphics cards, sound cards etc, and finally, power leads to everything.
