PC Won't start up normally, continuous on/off loop[ video included]

[Inperatrix]

Hello, I just starting having this issue this morning once I turned my computer back on as it auto turned off last night as I feel asleep. It will keep doing this and if I'm lucky it will turn on after a # of loops. On one of the times it did turn on the computer prompted me to do a system refresh or wipe so opted in to doing the refresh which completed. Then as I was attempting to re install drivers after that it continued with the issue. I have tried removing ram sticks to just a single stick in the correct slot, as well as re seat all the power cables which allowed me to. All the wires look to be connected fine. I find this issue odd as it happened a week + after I built this and it started while I was just browsing the web as well as the fact that it will fully turn on at a point. [ parts list / still photos of build http://imgur.com/a/lh3XI ] Video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlKkuIjEGBY ] 90% of the time the computer will not actually start up as in the video but keep going in the loop.

Sry, stopped letting me log in yesterday


I wasn't saying I believe u have a bent pin, was just saying code 00 is sometimes that or uneven pressure on the cpu, that's why I was asking if you recently messed with anything around the CPU


Like nemesis and ppl on other forums said its most likely the PSU or motherboard, if u had another PSU(which I see u say you dont) that would be the easiest way for you to check

Nemesis has you on a proper troubleshot path so I'd check all his suggestions out



P.s. nemesis I dig that are builds are very similar lol

hmm I guess at this point the best option would be to rma the motherboard, what do you guys think? Also if I do where would it be faster to do it via Newegg or Asus?

If you're within Newegg's RMA time period, definitely go through them.

Also I decided to just remove the cooler block and check the cpu/socket and everything looked fine.
