Stuck in boot loop

Bought a system bundle from the MM and when I built it it doesn't seem to boot properly. It appears to boot up and then 1-2 restart. I've uploaded a short clip to YouTube to help explain.

I think it may be a motherboard issue and it has been damaged in transit so I've ordered a new one to test.

Is there anything else anyone can suggest apart from taking each component out and trying one at a time etc.

Yeah I tried bare minimum and it didn't work. I left it out for 5 minutes will take it out for 30 now.

Yeah I have it barbones on my desk currently.

Wazza, thanks a lot for your help. Turns out one of the pins was ever so slightly bent. I couldn't even see it but thank god for 8x zoom on 4k camera, used a pin to straighten it and it's working!!
