Trying to build a desktop for my brother. I can't get it to do anything. When I press the power button it powers up then shuts down then boots back up with one red light in a square of four at the CPU position then immediately goes to DRAM then after 5 seconds or so switches to the VGA position.

I've tried to different sticks of RAM of the same model in every slot and nothing. Not even a beep with or without the RAM.

I've stripped it down to just the processor and a stick of RAM and the heatsink for the cpu.

Removed the cmos battery also and replaced but still the same.

Not sure what to try next
