If you are using stock Intel Cooler than open the case again and make sure cooler is placed tight enough.

Make sure all other connections are pluged in properly along with RAMs and GPU.

Which is your present power supply ??

Don't buy that PSU its not good. Get a Corsair PSU. CoolerMaster Extreme series are reported to have problems so that might be your culprit.
