Hey guys, I've just started building a new computer and having a really weird issue.

Everytime I hit the on switch, I get power for a fraction of a second then it switches off and does nothing until the power button is pressed again.

I've tried removing everything expect a single stick of RAM and the processor and corresponding fan all to no avail.

Specs are:
H170-PLUS ASUS Motherboard
LGA1151 i7 6700K Processor
nVidia GTX 970 GFX
Coolermaster 212X CPU Fan
DDR4 G.Skill Ripjaws 32gb RAM
GX750 PSU
 
Hello Mustii34,

I would suggest for you to remove the CMOS battery for about a minute to be sure and place it back in the slot. This should reset the BIOS motherboard setting, just a solution for you to try. Another solution is to unplug the power supply outlet cord and leave it disconnected for a while, then try to turn it back on and see if there are any changes(hopefully an improvement.).
 
Forgive me for such a late reply, I was having constant problems with my main pc. Constant Blue Screens of Death and lack of stability. As a last resort for I did not want to give up on it, I decided to completely strip it down and disassemble it and completely build it up again from scratch. After that, it is now working perfectly fine and even overclocked cpu wise.
