Just installed a Corsair H115i Elite Capellix two days ago to swap my Hyper 212. Before that, everything worked fine on my PC until I added the AIO. The CPU pins look normal and aren’t bent. My specs are Aorus B450 M CPU, R5 5600X, GPU RX 6700 XT, Red Devil PSU, Corsair CV650W. So far I’ve changed the CPU and GPU, then switched back to the Hyper 212 cooler and the original Ryzen cooler. Updated RAM sticks, removed the CMOS battery and put it back. The motherboard has been with me for about two years without issues until now. I updated my BIOS to F60 around four months ago after getting the 5600X, and everything worked perfectly—games ran smoothly. After installing the AIO, LEDs and fans functioned correctly, including the Corsair AIO cooler. I bought a new motherboard tomorrow. Did the board just fail or did something else happen? The display is completely off now.

It might not be the motherboard itself. Likely the issue is a loose or incorrect connection. I can attempt to start the PC by connecting it to an external case and using only essential parts.

I can run the computer, but the warning light remains on. All connections appear to be correct.

Confirm carefully that all connections are fully inserted is what @191x7 seems to imply. It might just mean inspecting the cable close to the red light. Most power cables on a motherboard should be completely seated, not just partially.

All cables are securely fastened, each one positioned perfectly. I’ve disassembled and reassembled my PC several times, but the problem persists.

It seems like it might be a DoA mobile device...
