First pc build, but i believe i have everything properly plugged in. When i go to power the pc, it clicks, all the fans spin for about a second, the lights on both the mobo and the case come on for about a second, and then it shuts off. The CPU LED comes on as well. When i unplug the CPU from the mobo, the fans spin for about 5 seconds and the other components of the pc sounds like they are trying to boot. I have tried 2 CPUs now and it has been the same problem with both. I have also moved the RAM in different slots with no success. Is it the mobo even though the lights are working properly or what could it possibly be? Gigabyte Z370 HD3P mobo btw. I have gone through the checklist already as well.

this is the no boot sticky, it covers most of the incidentals.
go down the list every step.
step 17 what is the speaker saying?

canned diagnostic speaker rant
The diagnostic speaker is the motherboards main diag feedback device.
the motherboard may be telling you where the problem is.
my speakers have this plug

I use lamp wire but any stranded wire will do. literally any stranded wires. strip one end like so

attach the stripped end into the speaker spring clips on the speaker.
the other end of the wire should be...

attach the stripped end into the speaker spring clips on the speaker.
the other end of the wire should be trimmed like so the semi strip

by doing a semi strip the wire case is now the socket.
plug one wire to the first pin, and the second onto the fourth pin.
power on the system and listen for beeps

and a quick refresher on grounding
Canned Grounding Rant-
shut down system and remove side panel. with the power cable plugged into the PSU touch a bare unpainted metal area of the case. (my favorite spot is an unpainted screw securing the PSU) once you have grounded yourself you can unplug the computers power cable from the PSU and can touch the system.
if you move your feet, or shuffle in your chair, plug in the cord, reground yourself and unplug again.
end canned rant-

if this does not fix the issue post back where with the complete system specs and the CPU's tried. cheers
