CPU temperature indicator flashes red.
CPU temperature indicator flashes red.
You've just assembled your first PC but encountered a boot issue. The system starts normally, then powers down during Windows installation. Now only the CPU and exhaust fans light up, with red indicators on the CPU and memory. It won't boot further. What should you do next?
Begin by repositioning the RAM and CPU. Verify the thermal paste is present on the cooler and ensure the protective layer isn’t left behind. Also, confirm all power connectors are securely connected.
I attempted everything you mentioned, but it keeps displaying red with CPU and DRAM issues. Have any other ideas you'd like to try?
