Hi. My CPU was getting hot, so I thought changing the thermal paste would help. But now I’m having issues with my motherboard. I only touched the CPU cooler and nothing else. There’s a yellow-green LED light indicating a boot problem, as per the manual. I’m stuck on the boot screen saying “please press del or f2 to enter uefi bios setting.” I’ve tried swapping RAM in different configurations, checked all CPU pins, and confirmed they’re correct. The GPU is fine. I removed both SSD and HDD without success. Cleared the CMOS multiple times, removed the battery and used the pins, but everything works now. Fans are spinning, but I’m unsure what to do next. My area doesn’t have technical support for AMD motherboards or CPUs, so I can’t test other parts. I’m considering buying a new motherboard just to check if the problem is with the CPU or the board itself. It would be my last resort since basic parts are very expensive here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (Sorry for the English)
