Infinite Boot Loop before BIOS

[Bobbafett]

I recently put together a new build and i run into an infinite boot loop before even loading the BIOS, unless I remove the power chord completely for 10 seconds after which, the pc boot up fine. When i shut it down i have to remove the cable over and over again to avoid the boot loop.

Specs: Gigabyte Z170X gaming5 mobo, gigabyte gtx 960 g1 gaming, intel i7 6700k, kingston hyperx fury 2666 (1x8gb), wd hdd 1tb, and aerocool kcas 750M psu (no more money for a better one). It runs windows 10 64 bit but i do not thing its the problem here cause the boot loop was way before i installed it.

I updated bios to latest version, no screws seem to sort out the mobo or anything else, run stress tests for memory and cpu and all is good, the memory is in the right slot I rechecked that.

It is very anoying and i tried to solve the problem but I'm stuck now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep in mind that everyhing runs fine for days without any errors until i shut it down where the problem begins if i do not disconnect the power cable.

I would point the finger to the PSU since it looks lower in quality. I would however ask you to breadbaord your system with only one stick of ram outside your chassis and see if the system boots up without any issues. I would then ask you to add more ram once you previous boot sequence is without any issues. Following that I'd ask you to reflash your BIOS and see if the issue persists. If the issue has been happening from the get go, either borrow a reliable/branded PSU found off the PSU tier list from a friend or RMA the board due to exhibiting abnormal behavior.

I had already done all the things you mentioned and the problem was the mobo. I recieved my new mobo a few days ago and the system now is running smoothly. I was very surprised though that the problem was not the PSU. I thought myself that this should be the problem cause it was lower quality. Well I am glad that there are no boot loops anymore.
