So I’ve recently built a new computer with all new out of the box components and when I try to turn it on I get no bios, no display and it restarts every 1 minute or so, about 8 times or so and then it stops restarting altogether. All the fans work, the GPU lights up but I don’t have a mobo speaker to get a beep code, I’ll be getting one soon so I can test that though.
So far I’ve tried:
All of it produces the same result. Now while assembling the mobo, I was using liquid metal for thermal paste, the conductonaut stuff, and spilt a little in one of the ram slots and a tiny tiny dot of it in between the slot and the next one. I haven’t been using that slot for obvious reasons, and I used an alcohol swab to clean the tiny amount in between as best I could as it’s tight to get in there.
Aside from this I cannot think of any errors I may have made and am kind of stumped as to what to do next. I don’t have fresh parts to switch out and try deducting what the culprit is aside from another PSU I could try but I highly doubt is the issue given it’s brand spanking new. Please any help is appreciated, I’ll post the parts below too. Cheers.
(Components + SSD & HDD from old PC is all i have)

So far I’ve tried:
- removing GPU and using onboard graphics
- Using only one ram stick and changing slots each time
- disconnecting everything except water cooler fans, cpu power, main mobo power, stick of ram and power switch plug
- resting the mobo on cardboard
- removing CMOS battery, waiting 15, plugging back in and turning on
- holding power button for a minute with the power unplugged, then plugging it back in
All of it produces the same result.
