Hi,
I'm fairly new to building pc, i built one last year as an exercice with cheap parts, and this year i wanted to build a good computer for me, but i think i may have messed up something.
So the trouble in itself is that the computer turns on for 5-10 seconds, then shuts down, and start again, and shuts down again and so on. I don't have any beep code (i plugged a headset into the mobo jack, don't know if there is another way), i don't get a graphic signal, so i guess i'm not reaching the bios.
I swapped the graphic card and the psu with the ones from the computer i built last year to check, so i know the ones i have now work fine. So it is either the ram (which i plugged just one in every slots possible), the cpu, or the mobo itself.
I think it might be the rams that are not compatible with my mobo. I bought a ryzen 1700 with a asrock x370 killer sli mobo and 2 ddr4 3000 hz ballistrix rams, and the mobo manual actually states that maximum frequency is 2666 on dual channel i think :
manual mobo page 25
But i also read online that motherboards usually are still able to fonction with higher frequency memory rams. Are the symptoms i get really from the too high frequency ?
I thought it may be a bios update issue, i'm really not knowleadgeable on that, but since ryzen 1700 is first gen i thought i wouldn't have any issue with it.
For info, i tried to run the motherboard outside the case, with the only the psu, the gpu, the cpu and the rams, and i also tried to start the pc without the gpu and the rams, i still get the same result, it never stays very long. I also reapplied thermal paste at some point just in case i did it wrong the first time
