  • PC turns off, on and off

    Hi everyone, I just recently finished building my pc, and I'm having trouble getting it to work properly. When I press the power switch it stays on for 15 seconds, then turns off, 5 seconds later it turns on by itself, does this same thing repeatedly, until I press the switch on the PSU.


    I just tested my PSU with a case fan, the fan stays on, so this means that my PSU is functional. I have removed the video cards and sdd from the motherboard, and it still does the same thing.


    When I turn on the PSU, I see a yellow light from the motherboard. After I press the power switch, I see a red light on motherboard too. I also see the number 15 led on the motherboard. Is the motherboard causing this or something else? I would greatly appreciate some help with this problem.

    Specs:
    CPU: i5-4670k
    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H
    Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
    PSU: HX 750
    CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM
    GPU: 760s SLI

    Re: PC turns off, on and off

    try a bare minimum setup

    no (hdd/dvd drives,gpu's attached) and use only one ram stick in second slot from cpu socket,i don't know what onboard display ports you have on that board or your monitor but try with hdmi/dvi/vga if you have them

    if it still loops then try with a different psu

    look in the mb manual to see what error code 15 is

    ohh and you can try a cmos clear by leaving out the motherboard battery a good 30 minutes then put back in and try booting

      Thank you! Its working on the bare minimum, and I actually see the boot menu on screen. Maybe i had the memory in the wrong slots?
      15 error is "Pre-memory North-Bridge initialization is started."

        I think my memory might not have been all the way in. Would that cause this problem?

          I got it running with the video cards, but no DVI signal this time.

          Monitor is VG248.
