I am having a problem with my computer

[BearHunter1]

Whenever I plug in my power supply. it works but then immediately turns off. I first thought maybe it was the Power supply (Corsair Builder CX500) but it worked when I did the paper clip trick and whenever I take out the cpu it works.

it doesn't work whenever I have the cpu in. I don't know if this is a cpu problem, motherboard or power supply.

It seems to do fine, whenever I test it using the paper clip/taking the cpu out. (CPU is a intel core i5 4590).

and motherboard is a MSI H81-p33

update
Okay I may need to be more clear here.
only have power supply and motherboard installed in the case along with the gpu. I do not have any ram installed yet.
So with the power supply all plugged in and the cpu in place and the gpu in place if I turn the unit on the fans cycle for a few seconds then turn off. if I remove the gpu the same result. if I remove the cpu then the power supply fan runs fine and if the gpu installed the fans run on it as well as long as the cpu is not installed. if I install the cpu and lock it down the it shuts down. any ideas??

Thanks

You need the RAM in there or it will just cycle like that. Try it with the RAM and then we can troubleshoot from there

well i tried that and it didn't work. it didn't even make it to the BIOS screen. it just turns on and shuts off after a few seconds. whenever i take the cpu out. or leave the cpu unlatched it works. Whenever i put the cpu down and latch it into place on the motherboard it doesn't work.

Is the cooler on? It may be shutting off to avoid damage.

yes the cpu cooler fan was on. for a few seconds. and then it shuts off along with the rest.

Is it properly secured?
