The installation of an HDD caused the motherboard to break.
The installation of an HDD caused the motherboard to break.
Hello everyone, I recently attempted to install an HDD on my computer. After turning it on, everything seemed to work, but there was no signal reaching the monitor or any BIOS activation. I searched online for troubleshooting tips and found several suggestions from others who faced similar issues. Now, after installing the motherboard, the system still won’t power up. I’ve tried various solutions and am running out of ideas, which is really frustrating. My setup includes a B550M motherboard, AMD 5600G processor, Radeon RX 6600 graphics card, and a 500 GB M.2 drive. Thanks for your help!
It wasn't the hard drive; I took it off and it still won't start.
Quick update for boys: I swapped the power supply because it wasn’t getting power and wouldn’t turn on. After that, I pressed the Q-flash button on my motherboard in frustration, which sent a signal to my monitor indicating Windows couldn’t boot properly.
