PC keeps turning off... what’s going on?

Hey guys, I recently tried installing the iBuyPower AW4 cooler, but now my PC boots for like 5-10 seconds, turns off, and then back on with the fans going full speed. There’s no display at all. I’ve reseated the CPU, checked all the cables, and even swapped back to the old cooler, but no luck. I’m kinda worried I messed up my CPU or motherboard. Does anyone have any ideas?

You might want to check for bent pins on the CPU socket. That could definitely cause issues.

Have you tried clearing the CMOS? Make sure all your cables are plugged in right, especially the CPU_FAN. Some boards won’t boot without that fan connected.

If there are any debug LEDs on your motherboard, they usually indicate if it’s the CPU, VGA, or RAM causing the problem.

Also, did you make sure the motherboard jumpers are set correctly? They can affect booting too.

I had a similar issue and it turned out I didn’t have the CPU power cable plugged in right. Just a thought!
