Help with new build, power on & then off

[TK422]

I need help with a 2600k i7 & a Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus, MSI P67A-GD65
The computer comes on for 3 seconds & then goes off & then on again for 3 & then off.

Try to reset your CMOS - probably moving the jumper with power cord out. I was having that for a while on an ASUS P8P67 Pro board.

Thanks for the tip.

I took the board out of the case & got it to run continuous with 1 stick of ram in. If 2 sticks are in it does the 3 sec power cycle

Dimms 3 & 4 with 1 stick in each at a time does the 3 sec power cycle

When 1 stick was in dimm 1 or 2 it worked but can't see post or anything on the monitor, the keyboard flashes also.

I was reading about that board on Newegg. A few other were complaining about it also but after contacting MSI, they got it fixed due to something they did incorrectly with the power connectors: Here is an example.

"Other Thoughts: I had already posted a review mentionning that the board was in permanent loop, finally fixed this and got the board to work, was an issue with the power connectors."

I finally got windows installed but I can't use any dual-channel Ram & dimm's 3 & 4 work work, they just do the 3 sec power cycle when inserted.
