Hey all, a friend of mine pointed me to this forum so hopefully I can get some tips.
I just bought the following parts and assembled them ( SSDs are coming in today, so haven't installed OS yet ).
2 x 250GB SSD SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" SATA ( will be striped ) - Primary drive
2 x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM STBD3000100 ( will be mirrored ) - Storage drive
Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K
G.SKILL Trident X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C8Q-32GTX
SeaSonic Platinum-1000 1000W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified ...
EVGA Z87 FTW (141-HW-E877-KR) LGA 1150 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA ACX Cooler 03G-P4-2784-KR GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm
5 x Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm Case Fan ( replaced every fan w/ these )
SAMSUNG Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model SH-118BB
Here's the problem. I plug it in and hit the power button. The fans kick on for 1/4 of a second and then everything stops. The red light on motherboard is still on, but nothing is running. Repeated power button presses do absolutely nothing. Here's the twist... if I then hit the Reset CMOS button 2-3 times in rapid succession (about 1/4 second between presses), it will start up. It's almost like it kick-starts the "motor" of the PSU. So.... here's the question... what the heck is wrong? hah. I have checked every connection multiple times. This is far from my first build... I've been building PCs for years without issues.
Is it my PSU? I don't have any spare parts to test with right now, unfortunately.
Please help.
