Hi

I just put in a new CPU and rams, and when I went to power it up it powers up for like 2 sec then shuts down and it just keeps rebooting. I see no mobo light (plus idk where the light is for it). Fans and gpu's power up. Anyone help.
 
Make sure your CPU is seated correctly.

Did you clean off the old thermal paste correctly, and then apply new paste?

Are the RAM sticks inserted fully?

All other components inserted fully?
 
Does touching the CPU in a way stuff it up because of static electricity? I was very carefull when I put it in.
 
Depends on where you touched it.. if you touched the top, then oil from your skin could have gotten on the heatspreader.

Did you check what I suggested above?
 
Yea I did everything above but when I put the CPU in the slot I place it on there but when I clamp it down it sounds like its scraping somewhere when I do it.

I got a beep 2 times now it tried pushing some plugs still nothing.
 
Gigabyte ga-h67ma-usb3-b3, and with the beeps, it's just one, and first time I herd it, I put back my gpu (660ti) in, and I didn't work. But the second time I had the gpu in when It beeped.
