    Fans Turn on For a Second then Off

    I put in my heat sink and fan and it works! I’m not really sure what to do now, though. The resolution on the screen is pretty funky, it looks like the picture is too big for my monitor. But does my computer just work now? Or is there more to it than that?

    Alright perfect, I’m glad that I’ve found the problem. I unbent the pins on the motherboard but I’ll put the heat sink on tomorrow when I have some more time. Until then I’ll be praying to some kind of *** that the processor ISNT fried. I’ll update you as soon as I get it on and I’ll send some...

    Yes! I got my heat sink and fan today. But I took my cpu out to clean some of that thermal paste off and I notice some of the pins on the socket are bent. Do you think that might be causing my problem? And can I fix it by bending them back?

    I had my power supply outside the case because I took it out to make sure it was working and I don’t have a heat sink or cpu fan in there right now because it doesn’t screw in at all. I think I stripped some threads on the mounting bracket. I’m used to working on tractors at work so I’ve learned...

    No offense taken at all! I can admit that I don’t know anything about building my own computer. This whole process is just a learning experience for me.

    If the motherboard is warped, how could I tell? Will it not work at all anymore? Or will the same problem persist even with a new Heat Sink?

    I just saw that my heat sink isn’t screwing in all the way. I screw one side in but the other side pops up. I didn’t notice it because it kinda happens slowly. I’m gonna return the one I have and get another one. Do you think that could’ve been the problem?

    Sorry for the late reply, but I reassembled the pc on my kitchen table and it still does the same thing. All the cables are labeled so it’s pretty hard to get them wrong, right? I’ll list the specs down though. Mobo: MSI H81M-E33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Processor: Intel Core i7- 4770 3.4 GHz...

    Hi! This is my very first pc build and I really don’t know much about them. I just finished putting everything together but when I turn the computer on the case fan and my cpu fan turn on for a second and then they turn off. All of the parts are new and there shouldn’t be any damage to any of...
