I recently got all the parts for a new PC build. I'll list them out before proceeding with a rundown of the issue.
Case: Cooler Master MasterCase H500M
Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING
CPU: Intel - Core i5-9600K
CPU Cooler: ROG Ryujin 240
RAM: Corsair - Vengeance RGB Pro DDR-3000 (8GB x2)
GPU: ROG STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING
SSD: Samsung - 860 Evo 500
SSHD: Seagate 2TB FireCuda
PSU: SeaSonic - PRIME Platinum 650 W
Once I got everything installed, I pressed the button and was greeted with the Red CPU Q-LED on the board. This LED remained on until the computer rebooted itself. At this point the Q-LED came back on and stayed on. All of the LEDs on the components came on, and all fans spun.
After this, I removed the GPU and one stick of RAM, which gave the same result. I then tried loosening the CPU cooler as well as the screws holding the Motherboard with the same result.
In all my time building PCs, I've never had a faulty CPU so I'm guessing that the Motherboard is perhaps the culprit here. That being said, I could be wrong and perhaps someone could help me sort this out.
