Hello
I just upgraded today to an Asrock z370 killer sli motherboard, i5-8600k cpu and ddr4 ram. So basically after connecting everything, it would only boot up for about a second and turn off instantly. I checked to make sure everything was connected in the correct spot and nothing was loose which they were all correct. I then unplugged my chassis fans and it would boot for about 30 seconds and then turn off (this occurs repeatedly in a cycle by itself until i turn off the psu) there would be no display appearing on my monitor either. I tried everything I could think of and find off the web but absolutely nothing is working. I also have a red flashing light on the motherboard when I have the psu on.

What I have tried so far:
-loosing screws on motherboard
-taking the motherboard outside of case
-disconnecting everything on the motherboard except for the necessary stuff
-only using 1 ram stick and trying it in every ram slot
- reseating the cpu
-taking battery out and putting it back


Still getting the same result of red flashing light with no display and cycle of turning on for about 30 seconds exactly (I timed it every time) and then turning off

The power supply is working fine when connecting to my old gigabyte z68xp-ud3 motherboard and works fine with chassis fans connected.

I cannot check if there's a problem with the new cpu as I don't have a motherboard that supports 8th gen intel processors

I have run of ideas to try and I'm starting to think maybe it's the motherboard but I don't wanna give up on it just yet

Please let me know what you guys think and if you have any solutions that could possibly be the problem for this, thank you so much for your help!!!

Unsure if this could be the problem as I am unsure as what would happen in this scenario, could it be the PSU isn't high enough wattage to support the new hardware? as unplugging the fan makes it power on for longer? If you have a friend with a pc with a higher wattage psu than yours, could ask to borrow it to test your pc with?

My other thing could be faulty hardware maybe? Have you tried maybe only one stick of RAM?

I don't think the psu watttage is the problem as it is more than enough to power the entire rig with the gpu. I have an antec 650w psu. I'm using less power with my new setup as compared to before as I was using an SLi gtx 550ti x2.

I have tried each ram stick by itself in every slot on the board. The ram I have is g.skill sniper ddr4 3600mhz (2x8gb)

That red light is important. On the motherboard itself, does it have writing next to the LED. Normally, it has what the LED corresponds to. This will give you more information.

Or check your motherboard manual for the error.
