[SOLVED] New Mobo, CPU and PSU

[melynda115]

So as the title suggest, I have a New motherboard, new CPU, and new PSU bought each twice over because as I built my pc I noticed it wouldn’t start. Hit the power switch and she shuts off after half a second of being on. Did this for days even after I installed all new hardware. Hence the title. I have the entire setup out and have bare minimum to start it. CPU cable in and the ATX pwr plugged in and the CPU in the socket. Turned it on and same thing. Did this exact problem with my old mobo and cpu and psu and those were brand new..
i7-8700 CPU
GTX 1080 Ti
16 GB of Corsair RGB ram
1 tb Samsung ssd
And a B250m mobo.
Old specs the same except it was a b250m mortar Arctic mobo and a Cx 650w PSU (same psu for both just two of em.) I’m just perplexed. I’ve made sure all cables are in snug and nothing is shorting my mobo as I took it out. I’m missing something here.

The B250m motherboard cannot take a 8th gen CPU so it will not work with the i7-8700...

The 8700 can only take the following motherboards with these chipsets:

B360
H310
H370
Z370
Z390

The H370 or Z370 would be best and for future upgradabilty the Z390 so that you can upgrade to the 9th Gen CPU's

Absolutely no problems at all. The 8700 is a very good CPU and coupled to the mighty 1080ti will do a great job...you will enjoy..
