New Build Stops Working in Just a Minute
New Build Stops Working in Just a Minute
RESOLVED (details in reply)
I just finished a new build (
here is the parts list
) that I tried starting up for the first time this morning and it was immediately very loud. Half way into my windows install it shut down unexpectedly. Since that I've tried restarting three times, and each time it would shut down quicker and quicker into the install process. The last time I restarted I went into BIOS to try and figure out whats happening and it shut down about 10 seconds after getting into BIOS.
While building I made sure everything was seated correctly and fully plugged in. I am recycling the nVME that I'm using for my boot drive, which was the last thing I did before this problem started occurring. I also understand I might need to do a BIOS update for my RAM, but when I checked this with a friend they said that it should work fine with my parts out of the box.
I'm in desperate need for help since this build is what I use for work.
Edit: the parts list was a previous version before I made a couple adjustments. Accurate parts list has been updated.
The issues arose from either poor design or my own mistakes in how the front I/o connectors were placed on the motherboard. This caused me to unintentionally hold down the reset button when turning it on, though a friend who is more knowledgeable adjusted the connector and it now works properly.
I chose not to install a shroud for my CPU cooler that shows temperature due to limited space, without realizing it also housed the pump control connectors.
My RAM required an update, but since the device was full with 96GB of memory, I had to replace it with smaller RAM modules before installing the new ones.
The case seems to need using the provided power cable to the wall or surge protector; otherwise it won’t receive sufficient power.
