CPU shuts off

[Dutch]

This computer is a new build, and when I boot it up it shuts down...sometimes 2sec and other times about 5. The PSU is a brand new 420w. What is causing the problem?

 

[TheMajor]

do u mean it shut down for 2 secodns or after 2 seconds?

 

[Dutch]

after 2 sec

 

[TheMajor]

boot in safe mode and see if it reboots there as well.

 

[Dutch]

The problem is the hdd was formatted....i dont even think i can get into the BIOS.

 

[TheMajor]

so there's no windows on your comp?

you can acces your BIOS at any time, but u don't need to get in your BIOS to solve this

er...the bios has nothing to do with the HD, and it sounds like you have your heatsink installed wrong.

yes, maybe....i think its a hardware issue if there's no windows, or maybe it doesn't detect the HD's

What are u booting? do u have windows installed? What message do u get before it reboots?

 

[Dutch]

you may be right on the heat sink...one of the levers is messed up....

Yea I just check and it is the heat sink for sure...thank you
