Everything went badly on my PC?
Everything went badly on my PC?
Hello,
I recently acquired a new CPU and a case. I placed everything inside the case and inserted the new CPU into its socket on the motherboard. Unfortunately, it didn't fit properly—there was a bent pin. I sent the CPU for repair.
After that, I returned my old CPU to the motherboard and turned on the PC. The fans spun initially, but the GPU fans failed to operate. There was no video output from MOBO or the GPU. I sent MOBO to service, and today it is back in good working order. I wanted to test it with the old CPU to ensure everything functioned correctly.
Today, the fans started spinning for a moment before stopping. The GPU fans remained inactive. No video output was detected. This was consistent with previous issues; MOBO was sent for service, but again, the fans didn't work. Additionally, the hard disk activity light did not illuminate this time.
The service report indicated they replaced a burnt component on the PCB. I performed a paper clip test—power supply and fans functioned correctly. I also heard a faint booting sound. Some sources mentioned a faulty SATA cable was the cause of non-booting. So, I removed all cables connected to hard drives except the one with Windows installed.
This time, the fan connected to the motherboard worked properly (I didn’t attach the heatsink or additional fans intended for the CPU). I noticed the screen was attempting to receive a signal. I then plugged in my GPU; it and the fan that previously worked did not function this time.
After removing the GPU, I tried again. I managed to get a minimal video output just enough to access BIOS, after which the system shut down. I reattached the heatsink and fans, but this time it failed to boot.
Last week, the case was changed. Now I can only connect a fan and an SSD. If it boots, it closes automatically within 10 seconds. Any suggestions?
I suspect the case might not have affected the issue. Am I mistaken? The new case includes some fans. My power supply is an 850W ASUS model. My old CPU was a 5600G, the new one is 5700X3D, and the graphics card is 5700XT.
Edit
My RAM was the culprit. I tested with one stick at a time; all of them stopped working except two when I left them out. After that, I reattached fans, SSDs, and the old GPU—everything functioned. Then I installed the new CPU and GPU, and it works perfectly now.
I don't have the specific details about the system or process you're referring to. Could you clarify the platform or method you're using? This will help me provide a more accurate response.
