I just got a new motherboard with my microcenter replacement plan but I was building my pc and using a screwdriver to start it up with the pins. It worked the 1st time I got a fTPM/PSP NV corrupted but it turned off. I didn't know what pins exactly to hit so I hit any until it turned on. I did a test boot but the pc turns off after 2 or 3 minutes. I connected the pc case power button wires and sometimes if I let go of the power button the pc boot up stops. If that doesn't happen it shuts down as mentioned before. Is the motherboard fried? The motherboard flashes all q led lights (cpu, ram,vga, & boot) The vga card flashes a red light before everything turns off as well. I don't have my cpu fans installed so i get the no cpu fan error but I turned on ignore in the bios menu and it still turns off. Is the pc shutting off before the cpu over heats? Also did the one stick of ram and still problems. Im taking it to a repair shop but just want second opinions. Also do you believe there will be a problem with the microcenter store since I will most likely need to get a replacement and I just got one today (7/10/2024)

Thank You

Hello! Very sorry to hear about the issues you are having! Sometimes if the CPU cooler is not installed the CPU itself wont be pressed in enough to be connected to the pins properly. I recommend trying to install that if possible. Would you be able to provide photos of your system and how you have it set up?
