New PC is turning on and off every 5-10 seconds, but wont boot to bios

[GetOwnedGaming]

Hey there
I am building a PC, and I have a gigabyte GA-z97-HD3 Motherboard, and when I turn it on, the fans start to run, it turns on, and then turns off, it does this a few times, so I shut off the power supply. I am not sure why it wont boot to bios, or show anything on the screen. Let me know what to do.

Is the CPU power connector plugged in?

 

[GetOwnedGaming]

Is that the super wide power connection that comes in a braided cable on the PSU?

 

[CompGee]

Does it have a lot of cables of multiple colors(e.g. red, green, orange) going to the power connection?

 

[GetOwnedGaming]

I have a Seasonic S12G 550W power supply, all the cables are black.

 

[CompGee]

Photo please?(note to self, check caps lock)

 

[GetOwnedGaming]

Sure, just a moment please.

 

[CompGee]

Okay!

 

[GetOwnedGaming]

Okay!

Don't mind the messy cable management, small case, and new to PC building. xD

 

[CompGee]

Would you also upload a photo of the whole CPU area please?

That is right below the CPU cooler. The Hyper 212 Evo. Do I need to take that off?

 

[CompGee]

No. Do you see a 4 or 8 pin connector on the motherboard near the CPU?

 

[GetOwnedGaming]

Yeah, I see something that is labeled ATX_12V_2X4 and it is an 8 pin.

 

[CompGee]

Okay. Do you have ANYTHING connected up to it?

 

[XAKEP]

8pin CPU needs to be connected

 

[GetOwnedGaming]

Okay. Do you have ANYTHING connected up to it?

Nope, I feel like an idiot right about now. Hehehe xD

 

[CompGee]

Connect the 8 pin power connector to that socket. It should have something like CPU on it. It will only go in one way.

 

[XAKEP]

Look at my setup. very similar board connections.

 

[GetOwnedGaming]

Okay, I did that, I will let you know if it boots.

 

[CompGee]

Okay.

 

[Adwaiya]

1 year and he did not let us know if it booted

 

[XAKEP]

I know right. But I bet it went just fine. People simply not grateful, yet asking and asking and asking when trouble comes.

Oh well happy to help in any way anyhow, so no biggie.

 

[Adwaiya]
