New build not booting
So I built this computer about 5 months ago and it would start to boot, and then shut off. I posted about it here, and someone said that the mobo was probably fried. Well, today I finally got a new mobo and threw it in there. It booted up the first time, all the way to the "Please insert boot media" message. I put in the Win 7 DVD and restarted the comp. It started to boot, then immediately shut off. Same problem I was having last time. I know the mobo is good, because I took every precaution I could while installing it. I'm thinking that, even though the CPU cooler is running...the CPU is overheating. Could it be a lack of adequate thermal paste that is causing the issue? Any ideas are appreciated.
