I just finished my first PC build, using an Asus Z87 pro motherboard, 1tb western digital HDD, 120 gig Samsung 840 ssd, i5-4430, 850 watt HX Corsair power, nvidia GTX 760 GPU, 8 gig (2x4) corsair vengeance ram in a Haf 932 advanced case. I put it together, and the computer boots for 1-2 seconds, shuts down, and after about 5-10 seconds repeats that. I looked around and people said to disconect drives and ram and try again to get to BIOS, but no luck. any ideas guys?
 
Some people have been talking about insulated washers for the MOBO, but I did not get any...
 
New news! after a bit of fiddling, the computer now runs but the speaker is making what I assume to be an error noise of dooo do do do. dooo do do do. I will look into and get back, but if anyone knows that would be super helpful.
 
Ugh. The error noise was said to be a lack of ram, so after opening the computer and resecuring the
ram, it now will onlyboot for 1/2 second, shut down and wont start up by itself anymore.
