So before I put everything into the case I wanted to test bench the PC first. Everything turned on fine, all of the fans were running the whole time. But everytime i try to install an OS a few minutes later, it would turn off. I'm not exactly sure the cause of this

A few things that I think might caused it:
  • GPU fans turning off while I'm installing OS
  • I jump started the Mobo with a screwdriver
  • PSU cables not connected properly
I'm hoping that the cause of the sudden shut down was because I used a screwdriver to turn it on instead of an actual connector

Edit: I feel so dumb rn, but yeah I didn't fully connect the ATX cable that's why it turned off suddenly
Thx for all the response thi

A screwdriver and a push button do exactly the same thing.

You fan might be temperature controlled, so it could turn off sometime.
