Faulty pc - anyone able to help

[initroot]

I'm trying to troubleshoot faulty pc.
Tried bare metal build, cpu, ram, mobo and obviously psu.

Boots few seconds then goes off, boots again and runs.
I have no display output. Tried a different psu so that's not it. Both times it starts.

Anyone near plattekloof glen that maybe have spare cpu or or mobo just to test on?

1151 mainboard supports 6 & 7 gen cpu.

Any takers?

Sounds like a CPU issue. Check the CPU is seated correctly...

Did that yes. I've tried the basics. Only other thing I can think off is that both PSU's is faulty.

But since it does start up, I dunno if it really could be the psu.
