Hey guys, i recently bought a new desktop and had it assembled at a local computer store. It has stayed on my desk for a little over a week, untouched except for the few seconds i removed the display window and reattached it.
After connecting both the new monitor and keyboard to the tower and turning it on, within two seconds it would shutdown, only to tun itself back on again and turn off once more. This process repeated until I isolated the power.
I was really hoping that this could be easily fixed by myself as it is on Christmas and would be a while before any 'professional' help can be sought. Researching online i narrowed down some possible issues/causes:
1. Faulty power supply
2. Issue with how the motherboard was installed
3. Heatsink fan not attached correctly to eithet PSU or CPU
I was wondering if anyone here would be able to determine what may be the cause and if it is only a faulty connection of the fan how i could fix it?
Any other information is most welcome! Thanks in advanced and Merry Christmas!
P.S. here are the specs for anyone wondering (the PSU however is a CoolerMaster GX II model)
