Question

Help! Pc turns on and immediately turns off

May 12, 2018 6:46AM PDT

Hi
So today I decided to do some cable management and when I put everything back together, my PC does weird.
So my pc turns on but immediately turns off again?!
It worked before I did that so I don't think something is broken
Already tried to check if it was my memory, that wasn't the problem. And my motherboard looks fine too. I don't know about the Power supply because i don't have a spare one but its new and again it worked before i started with the cable management. Checked cables as well everything is connected like it should.

Please help me

Eddie

Figured out it was my motherboard that is defect, psu and everything else worked. My parents had a Socket 1155 pc laying around so i tested all the components with that
