H100i giving me problems?

[Marc_4]

Hi all, not sure if I'm in the right part but I've had numerous problems with my custom PC, when I boot it up it runs for about 3-4 seconds depending how long my PC has been left off for, I.e the longer it's been off the longer it stays on before it shuts itself down.

I notice that my corsair h100i LED turns red just before it makes an audio able click and then turns off?
I've took it to 2 different computer stores and they do the same thing, renew thermal paste refit the cooler and then it boots up fine? Then a week / month later (or even as soon as I bring it back home) it does the exact same thing.

None of the shops can give me a definite answer to what the problem is just that they can swap parts and try it out (which costs abit of cash which id rather not experiment with different parts to my own cost) lol.

Hope you can help me as my wallet is being emptied lol, cheers

Bad pump perhaps? It could be having trouble starting up on occasion, causing a temp spike in your CPU and initiating auto shutdown.

Well both the PC shops have done the same thing do you reckon it is the CPU cooler? And I should just get a new one like the h110i?

Ah, I've also unparked my CPU cores? Don't suppose that would make a difference?

Unparking won't cause it.
Check the mounting of the cooler the h100i had issues on certain board where the mounting plate was loose even tho the screws are tight . Google h100i loose bracket .
One thing you could try is apply pressure to the block and see if it reboots if it doesn't then its insufficient mounting pressure .
