This motherboard will turn on then turn off 20 seconds later then restarts.
No output to video so no post. Tried to update bios but still the same. Changed every thing ram,graphics, power Nguyen changed.
Any ideas

Check cpu pins on motherboard

Remove the GPU and disconnect all the drives (so basically it's just Mobo/CPU/RAM with power), then remove all but one stick of RAM (in DIMM 1). If that doesn't work swap the RAM stick for another, if it still doesn't then either the Mobo or CPU is borked (assuming they are compatible).

very very rare for a cpu to be borked though.

List the full specs.What ram are you using?Is it a new board or was it running previously?

Which motherboard model? If your Broadwell CPU wasn't supported did you update the BIOS with QFlash+ pre POST?
