I just installed the cpu and fan before adding this thread. What can be the issue? I double checked all the wires. The fan lights and the actual fans turn on for a second then turn off. My cpu is a fx 6300 and my gpu is a r7 265. Mobo is a gigabyte 78lmt-usb3. [video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWZqp3NO1Gs&list=UU-hhtOrH-nxIaCPribRiaKg"][/video]

Thanks for the reply, ive already went through that step by step guide. A lot of people say it may be because a bad psu, but i just pulled that psu right out of my old working computer. Im so lost.

Before i put my mobo into the cpu case i attached everything to it, and attached the psu to it. But the same issue happened there. Then once i put the mobo into the case, i re wired everything and it still doesn't work.

I just did the paperclip in the psu experiment (one end in the green and one end on the black), and the same error happened. It worked for a sec then turned off. What does that mean?
