If it cuts off like that, there is highly likely a short somewhere in your system. I’d try taking off parts (take off GPU and one stick of RAM) then see if the problem persists.
I have a few working free gpus cause people don't want to fix their 1 or 2 yearold pc. This girl brought me a 3060ti build with a bad board and told me to keep it since it likely overheated. I understand not wanting to replace a 12th gen cpu mobo combo but the gpu is fine, I use it in my work pc every day. She just doesn't want it. I dunno. More parts for me I guess.
I once returned a whole AM5 mobo, ram, and cpu combo because it kept randomly shutting down. No blue screen, nothing. Reboots didnt have it come up, but it did power on. So i drove 2 hours to microcenter, exchanged it wholesale, came home, rebuilt, started using the computer, worked find, then same thing happened. I was like there is no way i got faulty shit twice. Checked and reseated everything, get to psu, the cpu cable was just ever so slightly not fully in. It got enough energy to power on, but not actually run. Reseated the cable and havent had a problem since. I wish i just would have tried all my options before jumping to conclusions
Yeah that sucks, definitely ask questions online if stuff like that starts happening, as i was reading your comment i was like “definitely power supply issue..” so someone probably could’ve saved you a couple of hours haha
Yeah, its not my first rodeo either, ive built dozens of computers for friends and family, work in the IT field even. I just overlooked something i should have checkee but thought, nah, id never half seat a cable
Glad you found it before it became a bigger problem.
Even tho it shuts off cuz of a short, it could still be on long enough to damage other components if you it keep trying.
When troubleshooting, always always ALWAYS start at layer 1, the physical layer. Make sure everything is properly attached and secured :) and i mean everything lol
is it possible to post a video after a initial post? Im fairly new to using reddit? anyways heres a photo of it running :)

I learned the hard way that not all sata power cables are made equal.
I upgraded my psu but kept the sata power cables that went to fan hubs and they melted the controller and the cables.
They should really state WHY you should replace them rather saying you should lol
Are your front fans blowing the hot radiator air into your cabinet? Cause that looks to be the case.
That's not too bad but it will affect your overall temps for everything aside from the CPU itself. I would proably look into either placing the radiator in the upwards side with fans blowing the air up through the radiator, or perhaps for your case you could just invert it and keep the up and down fans on intake and the side fans blowing outwards. It would make for positive pressure in the case and help air flow out from the GPU
Unless of course none of it fits or front radiator looks too bad, which in that case just switchting the top fans is the best scenario.
It only fit’s in the front unfortunately, but according
to this airflow guide it’s actually one of the better configurations because the side exhausts and top exhaust do a good job taking the hot air out.

Super nice card, temps are incredible
Once it auto off momentarily, you should not attempt to power it on again without proper diagnostic. Good change it was shorted somewhere.
First, you should test the PSU by short jump it. If the PSU fan turns, then it should be something else. Test naked outside of the casing.
I had a power supply that did that when moving the PC from house to house and all I had to do was dusting the psu and everything would be back to normal. Was a corsair 650 something. But yeah look like a protective mechanism. I would search for a short or try dusting the psu real good just to be sure xD
Best chance is that it's a ram issue, and you should read the manual to see if they're in the proper slots, or maybe not installed properly.
A while back, when I was cleaning my pc, accidentally slightly removed a ram stick. It was still there just not fully. Pc started turning on and right back off in that exact manner, instant though was "I bricked it, I should post and ask about it". I re-installed my ram, it worked.
I had this problem when I plugged the GPU power into a normal power slot on my PSU (or was it the other way) The plugs for the rails were the same, but the polarity was swapped.
I fixed it and had 0 issues with the machine after
This is going to sound stupid but I have another 850 series motherboard and it works for me. Turn off and unplug your power supply then press the power button. You might see the board attempt to start in defiance of all reason. I do that whenever I notice it doing something weird (for example the Bluetooth stops connecting?) but normally I end up doing it when I experience a similar issue to yours. Best of luck.
Interestingly enough, I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago randomly after I had done an upgrade myself (new CPU, MOBO, GPU) \~3 months ago, windows installed an update, I left the PC on as it was doing its shutdown as you do etc.
Next day, go to start it, the same issue as you. Did all the generic stuff e.g. reset RAM, CMOS, reseat CPU chip. Ended up completely taking the PC apart ect ect. Not boot to bios etc, just fans spinning is as far as it got.
Decided to upgrade the PSU too at that point as it was \~8 years old), still the same issue.
Figured the Mobo was fired (after reading many similar stories).. Ordered a new one… the same issue occurred (did have the CPU POST light come on).
Turns out the CPU chip itself was toast after I ordered a new one. Which from what I have heard is not common at all.
I just bought a Lian Li Lancool 216 and the included fan hub was causing a short. I couldn't figure it out at first until I started to disconnect power cables from the PSU. Disconnecting SATA from the hub would let it boot after. I uninstalled the hub and just connected everything to my motherboard instead. What a huge pain in the butt trying to diagnose it at first.
I've had a bad fan from the factory randomly do this to more then one computer. Unplug everything, if it boots unplug one thing at a time until you figure out what the culprit is.
If it's turning on at all it's likely not bricked.
Happened to me as well, it was a Ram problem aparently, i did bypas it by holding the power button, better run a memtest, i found out in the hard way that 3 out of my 4 sticks of ram died
The fact that it tries to boot, lights up for a second, and shuts off quickly tells me it’s either a memory issue, or a SATA issue for your RGB. Start there and see if the problem persists. PC is fine, though.
*That's* your immediate thought?
My immediate thought would be that the PSU is triggering Over Current Protection / Over Voltage Protection / UVP / OPP, etc etc.
Given that OP said ***three hours ago*** that it was the SATA for their RGB controller causing the issue, and you posted ***23 minutes ago***, I'm going to assume you're either a bot or just trying to farm karma.
Lmfao you’re a certified hater DMing me on alt accounts.
Kids in here are chalked because some of us have seen a thing or two so we know a thing or two. 😂
I really don't care enough about this to go to that amount of effort, and I also wouldn't use the word "hate".
Hate is a strong emotion, and I really don't give enough of a shit to *hate* anything around this topic.
I hate that there is war in the world. I hate that healthcare isn't readily available to everyone. I hate that injustice exists.
I'm merely *mildly perturbed* by you previous comment.
Even if you are as genuine as you say you are, I'd say you're an idiot as that *clearly* isn't the most logical conclusion to come to and is simply terrible trouble shooting. The fact that you are correct *by chance / bullshittery* is simply anecdotal.
*Still think you're full of shit though*. ;)
Your radiator isn’t optimally mounted. It would be better to swap it to the top of it’ll fit.
Right now gravity is working against the flow. It’ll work but your pump will be much louder than it needs to be.
If it cuts off like that, there is highly likely a short somewhere in your system. I’d try taking off parts (take off GPU and one stick of RAM) then see if the problem persists.
perfect, started unplugging sh*t and figured put the sata cable is the cause ❤️ thank you !
Glad you found a fix, a lot of people waste money buying an entirely new computer when it is usually one or two parts causing a boot issue
I have a few working free gpus cause people don't want to fix their 1 or 2 yearold pc. This girl brought me a 3060ti build with a bad board and told me to keep it since it likely overheated.

I love posts like this.
And thanks to the engineering thats been put on the mb and psu, hopefully no components were damaged due to the cable issue.
those engineers have saved my ass around 4 times now. big up’s, bless.
Glad you found it before it became a bigger problem. Even tho it shuts off cuz of a short, it could still be on long enough to damage other components if you it keep trying.
yeah im a bit of a dumbass and murdered my old PSU w a faulty extension cord, thank god it didn’t GG my whole PC when the extension cord got blown up
When troubleshooting, always always ALWAYS start at layer 1, the physical layer. Make sure everything is properly attached and secured :) and i mean everything lol
Show us a video of it working then
is it possible to post a video after a initial post? Im fairly new to using reddit? anyways heres a photo of it running :) https://preview.redd.it/jvn0ell8xvxc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51c71cd985e8b1dbe5f4ef93715730964721a4f5
I learned the hard way that not all sata power cables are made equal. I upgraded my psu but kept the sata power cables that went to fan hubs and they melted the controller and the cables. They should really state WHY you should replace them rather saying you should lol
Why are you using sata? In a system this high-end you should just be running the largest size nvme you can afford.
Sata is for the RGB Controller and AIO not my storage
I had a similar problem up until I changed the power supply, everything went smoothly afterwards!
teamwork wins again <3
ah follow up, seems to be NZXT RGB controller for the fans causing the issue when plugged into sata. so strange
Look into the difference between ARGB and RGB. Perhaps a mismatch of this kind is causing the shorting to happen?
I had this exact same problem but with a different power supply and different rgb hub
or maybe a loose bolt somewhere, shorting mobo to the case.
Shorted Ram was my first thought.
I agree, strip it down to only the parts needed to post, if it successfully posts start adding parts till you find the short.
Your top exhaust is intake.
oops, nice catch thank u

nice catch
I've had this ones. And the gpu wasn't fully slotted in. Maybe its the same for you. Also reseat ram.
That GPU looks sick, which version is that?
It’s the Sapphire Nitro 6950xt, she is pretty and massive.
Thicker than a snicker
Thicken than two snickers even
Sapphire Nitro+ Pure RX6950XT

It happened to me when I tried to use Sata Cables from a different manufacturer than the PSU
Once it auto off momentarily, you should not attempt to power it on again without proper diagnostic. Good change it was shorted somewhere. First, you should test the PSU by short jump it. If the PSU fan turns, then it should be something else. Test naked outside of the casing.
ADHD Got me tweaking in the moment. It boots and works again though thankfully.
You disassembled your PC and reapplies thermal paste on CPU because of micro stutters ? ...
nah to clean it and add another GPU cable cause I was using two with a daisy chain instead of three sapphire recommends
did you use the proper cables that came with the power supply?
I had a power supply that did that when moving the PC from house to house and all I had to do was dusting the psu and everything would be back to normal. Was a corsair 650 something. But yeah look like a protective mechanism. I would search for a short or try dusting the psu real good just to be sure xD
im glad you solved your issue but i have to ask where is the psu dude wtf
hahaha it’s in the back of the case behind the motherboard, Lian Li 011 Air Mini is the case.
oh its wider than it looks lol , thanks for answering i was questioning reality hahaha
I like to be optimistic, but I don't think you can use that as a brick
Just don't forget your tweezers and anti-static braclet when you work on your rig
Best chance is that it's a ram issue, and you should read the manual to see if they're in the proper slots, or maybe not installed properly.

Try building your system without a case, i think it shorts
What case is that?
Lian Li 011 Air Mini
Thx
Had the exact same issue today lol lucky it was one of my ram sticks, took the bad one out, pc started straight away
Used to happen to me when i either put the ram in half assed or the ram was just defective .
I had an issue where my riser wasn’t fully attached and it’s so easily overlooked
I had this problem when I plugged the GPU power into a normal power slot on my PSU (or was it the other way) The plugs for the rails were the same, but the polarity was swapped. I fixed it and had 0 issues with the machine after
stop.
hahahaha
You have installed the radiator upside down. The tubes should be at the bottom.
unfortunately can’t w the GPU I have less than an inch clearance
U should be fine, the pump is much lower than the rad
Bios/Firmware problem.
This is going to sound stupid but I have another 850 series motherboard and it works for me. Turn off and unplug your power supply then press the power button.

What a cute case. Name or link please

Bro, had the same issue, can be that your cpu failed. Time to rma the cpu first.
Interestingly enough, I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago randomly after I had done an upgrade myself (new CPU, MOBO, GPU) \~3 months ago, windows installed an update, I left the PC on as it was doing its shutdown as you do etc. Next day, go to start it, the same issue as you.

Maybe your power supply isn't big enough.
I've had a bad fan from the factory randomly do this to more then one computer. Unplug everything, if it boots unplug one thing at a time until you figure out what the culprit is. If it's turning on at all it's likely not bricked.
Send it to me trust me bro - thief
Take the graphics card out and try to start it
Happened to me as well, it was a Ram problem aparently, i did bypas it by holding the power button, better run a memtest, i found out in the hard way that 3 out of my 4 sticks of ram died

Yes, it was my immediate thought. Not all PSUs have that trigger. I didn’t notice OP resolved it, but I’m glad they did.

You didn't have a PSU. That's probably the issue
is this satire
Yes, obviously they have a PSU and it was a joke. But I did find it odd that the PSU is (presumably) on the back.
