Please help! I just built my first PC, a simple rig with an i3-8300, ASUS ROG Strix H370-I motherboard, 2x8 DDR4 3000mhz ram, and a 250gb WD Blue Sata SSD. I was excited because everything appeared to work fine, the bios works great and shows all hardware connected and working (CPU temp is about 39C).
However, when I go to install windows I only have a few seconds before the entire computer shuts down- the screen goes black and the fans shut down, no error message, no restart, nothing. I can retry it over and over and the same thing happens.
So far I've tried:
-downloading another copy of Windows and using all the USB ports
-swapping out the PSU (realized it probably isn't this anyways because the mobo has a power LED that always stays on)
-reset CMOS
-wiped SSD and tried all SATA ports
-used HIRENS boot cd to test the RAM
None of these showed any errors or fixed the problem. What do you think is wrong?
