Question Weird power up issue with new build....

[shoman94]

So I just built a new PC with my Son.

Msi Z490-A Pro
Intel i3-10100
2x8GB Corsair Vengeance
Asus RoG Striker 1660Super
2x36GB Raptors
1TB Cavier Black
Thermaltake Smart 600w

All in an early 2000 era LianLi aluminum case.

Bios updated.....

When I first power up it boots until the VGA light on the mobo lights up then the PC shuts off.

One work around I have found was pressing repeat 3 times once a second after I press power on then it stays running. I can restart the PC and it always boots.... Just not from a powered off state.

Hmm. I would say that problem is most likely PSU or mobo, but also possible video card related if defective or not plugged into the PCI-E slot and supplemental connectors properly (unlikely).

Is that PSU new, or re-used? If re-used, how old is it? ThermalTake's not known for being very high on the quality scale.

I believe I found the issue..... Bad power button on the case. I realized that because when I was in windows a couple times I got the pop-up that windows was shutting down. So I disconnected the power switch and connected the reset button as the power switch and it's fine now....

Rosewill case, perchance? I had that happen once, with a Rosewill "Galaxy"-series case. It was annoying, but didn't stop the build.
