I recently put together my first gaming PC and upon start up all the lights and fans powered up for a second or two then immediately turned off for three or four seconds then repeated the process. I've gone through the check list on the site. I've disconnected and reconnected everything, tried RAM on all different slots, took the CMOS out for 20-25 seconds and replaced it, breadboarded the mother board by itself, paper clip tested the PSU (it passed) and NOTHING. same problem. I've got a MSI z97 gaming 5 motherboard so it has a two digit LED display for debug codes. It simply displays 00 for a split second before it turns off, which doesnt correspond to any code.
So, is my mobo and/or CPU dead? I thought i was being super careful and grounding myself when putting it together.
Parts List:
MSI z97z gaming 5 LGA1150
