I've got a new build set up based around the GA-P55A-UD3, core i5 760, ocz platinum 1333MHz, Cooler Master UCP 1100W
Every time I hit the power button the fans and hard drive power up, but the screen doesn't initialise let alone display anything. after a couple of seconds the system shuts itself down and then about 6 seconds later it restarts again.
I installed a system speaker but i get no beeps (tried 2 different ones) and all the cables are plugged in correctly. I have tested with a different power supply (corsair TX650) with the same result. I reset the cmos using a jumper and also removed the battery.
I tried breadboarding the system and no matter what is connected i get the same reboot pattern, with the exception of if the cpu has no power when the time running before shutdown is very short (~0.5s)
Ideas so far:
The memory is bust or not being recognised (this should cause a beep code however)
The cpu is broken (already checked for bent pins)
The motherboard is broken
Any further ideas?
Thanks
John
