Hey all. Here is my build (everything is new except the GPU and PSU):
CPU: i7-9700k
GPU: GTX 1660 Ti
Mobo: ASUS Prime Z390-A
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2x8GB
PSU: EVGA 500W
SSD: WD Blue 500GB
Cooling: Corsair H100i
So, here is my issue... I plugged in everything and turned on. The fans would light up for a split second and work, and then turn off. It would continue doing this. The cooler and ram would not light up (although I think this is because they take longer to light up).
The only thing I was able to swap out was the cooling. I put in the Hyper 212. I also unplugged my GPU, SSD, and front fans because I thought it could be the PSU is not powerful enough?
When I did this, I discovered that when I unplug the PSU's cable to the CPU slot in the mobo, the ram lights up, the cooler and all fans work too.
But then as soon as I put power to the CPU, it keeps doing the same thing..
I thought maybe it was doing this because the CPU was not getting cooled, but switching the cooler did not help..
I also tried with just one stick of RAM, switching them out and trying them in each slot.
I also thought it was not enough power, but my friend has an almost identical build and their 500W PSU is fine...
I'm at a loss of things I could try... I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
