Test for you "Steam tech guys"

[xX_Taylor_Xx]

Ok i've looked at about 4 posts and most of you people have no clue what your talking about LOL

So here is a little test for you :D ( This is an issue that I had a whie ago )

Ok I recently built a new pc and when i get the pc all set up and ready to run i get a weird thing that happens my pc will start up for a second or two and then it shuts down, but it takes and restarts and does this about 10 times before i take and pull the power supply cable out.

With that information it should tell you exactly whats wrong with the system ;) So lets see who can solve it

Edit : -.-

Edit 2 : The problem was a boot loop issue that was caused in fact by a bad ram slot :D

Edit 3 : Reddit post with the exact same question -- > https://redd.it/5pdq8o > First comment hits the nail on the head


Thanks for everyone stopping by and attempting to help, I find it cool that you all will try and help some random online, However i do recommend different outlets like the pcmr reddit.

The point i was trying to make is that even though people try to help, that doesn't mean they know what they are talking about

Faulty RAM
or a Faulty PSU
or any other number of possibilities

who knows.

Make sure everything is plugged in coreectly including PSU cables and the right ones are plugged in, clear cmos and try again?

Nothing wrong with that, that's just an AMD processor at work :p

[MFNutty]

what is wrong with it?

[Mossy Snake]

Faulty cable. It happened to my old Wii, which resulted in it literally catching fire (Xenoblade is too good for the Wii).

Or a REALLY bad case of thermal throttling (Something similar to this happened to a laptop a friend of mine got. Geek Squad's satanic contracts wouldn't cover it, so he had to buy a whole new laptop)

It's a boot loop, isn't it.
Nice job potentially giving it away on a different thread.

I am a newb. I just noticed this is very similar to problems I've seen/had in the past

Obvious boot loop, but what's caused it is what I thought was the question. :P

Well there's no one answer to that problem. Try individual RAM sticks as suggested.
It might even be an unstable overclock or trying to use an unsupported CPU that could cause a boot loop. You would have to give more information. Is it a completely new build? Did it run before? Changed anything?

Well the issue has been solved as i stated before, It was in fact a ram issue gratz on being the first to actually say what it was ( granted the first person did as well, but it looked like he was shooting in the dark )
