Are you sure your WC connection is done correctly?
It sounds like failsafe shutdown, which would possibly be due to the CPU not being setup correctly.
You say you don't want to take your WC off, well I suggest you do, clean everything, replace the paste, refix everything and try again, as it sounds like you've tried everything else.
What WC are you using?

a xspc delta 3,ddc+res top+240 rad.
do you think the paste might be shorting something ?
i really dont know why it would do a failsafe shutdown, theres nothing obvious that would cause it ??

Try it out of the case, it'll check for certain.
You will need to take it apart and put it back together.
If it failsafe shutting down and you continually keep pumping it on you are doing your brand new system no favours at all. Like slamming a jammed door, works fine, but eventually the hinges will fall off.
