Self build
Hello Experts Exchange,
I decided to finally build my own home server. I have put together a couple home systems before and had also read an article suggesting a recommended build so I thought I would try it. I assembled all of the parts but now whenever I attempt to turn it on all of the fans light up and start for about two seconds and then everything turns off. If I let it sit it will do the same thing in about 5 seconds. This loop continues until I pull the power.
I have checked/re-seated all of the cables, reseated the processor, cpu fan, memory and also the motherboard with the same result. I have also tried a differnt power supply (700W) but still the exact same result. I have also ensured both the 24 pin and 4 pin power cables are connected to the motherboard.
Without buying more components to swap out I am unsure what the issue may be. I have not added a CD/DVD Burner, video card or any other periphials as of yet.
I have the following components:
LIAN LI PC-Q08B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case (Model PC-Q08B)
Zotac H55ITX-C-E LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Mobo (Model H55ITX-C-E)
Seasonic SS-460FL Active PFC F3, 460W Fanless ATX12V 80Plus Gold Certified PS (Model SS-460FL Active PFC)
Recertified Intel Core i3-530 Clarkdale 2.93 GHz LGA 1156 73W Dual-Core Processor Intel HD Graphics (Model SLBLR)
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) (Model BL25664TB1337)
If any experts have any ideas please let me know anything I may have missed. All parts are new except for the recertified processor.
Thanks!

agree with the above two posters, since you already tried swapping the PSU (I assume you are CERTAIN the swapped PSU is 100% good at 700w) or a bad Mobo, could be a short in the Mobo, I've seen them fail right out of the box all too often
