![]() Follow this guide (with one small change that I will mention) and clean the CPU and cooler and again install with new TIM. ![]() ![]() Having the CPU fan on or off, plugged or unplugged does not make any difference.ġst, the cpu fan has to be connected or the board may not boot.Ģd Try removing the CPU again, and very carefully check for Any bent pins. I put thermal grease on the cpu top and spread it evenly across its surface, I don't think I got any on the sides. Likely a MOSFET went bad.Did you connect the CPU fan and, if you just installed the CPU, did it have thermal interface material (TIM or Thermal grease) on it or did you put some on it? Are any of the fans spinning up? I measured 0.1Ohms at the CPU power header between +12V and GND, which is a dead short. The motherboard does not allow the PSU to power on (same thing with me). Luckily my PSU has short circuit protection. "The CPU Power header exhibited a short after putting the computer into standby one night for roughly an hour. This one caught my attention and I suspect have the same issue=: I just read a couple people on Amazon had defective boards after it worked fine first, like me. If the motherboard wasn't defective, wouldn't it power on with fans and everything? Or does a motherboard not power on with no CPU installed? Just plug in CPU, cpu-fan, 8pin EATX and 24pin motherboard? Do I need to mount the CPU fan and put grease on? With that being said, what's the easiest and quickest way to test the CPU when the new motherboard comes, without reinstalling everything? Of course Amazon didnt have the board in stock and had to jump through hoops to get one. Well the motherboard is packed up and on its way back to - Getting it replaced. I either have a dead motherboard or CPU, or both? Wouldn't I get beeps or an error code for a dead CPU? The PSU just clicks and nothing happens. The 2 power supply thing working I think is just a random coincidence. Now if I connect power to the cpu etc all from the same PSU, I'm back to no boot, no power, no fans spinning and the RED LED light. Which makes sense because there is no power be driven to the cpu. The motherboard boots and the cpu fan spins up, Q-Code 00 - meaning no cpu installed. Just the corsair psu, with the 24pin connection plugged into the motherboard was plugged in and powered. Keep in mind the 8pin cpu and 8pin vga are still plugged in from the EVGA as I described above but not powered on nor si the psu plugged into an outlet (this was not intentional, just happened when I tried to test the new/psu). Rather than unscrew and take the EVGA PSU out, I just moved the corsair PSU closer and plugged in JUST the 24pin motherboard connection just to see if I could get power. I had my 8pin cpu and 8pin pci-e power cables plugged into the motherboard and videocard respectively from the EVGA power supply that was already mounted in the case. And I have an older corsair 650w that I brought out to test to see if it was a PSU issue. I have a brand new EVGA supersonic 650w G2. The reason for 2 PSU's was not intentional. What model of power supplies are you using? I've never heard of someone hooking two power supplies up at the same time. The red light that is on now is not one of those? If not, could you take a picture and show us where it's at? One for XMP near the system connector panel So this LED you are talking about, where is it at? In your manual it shows there are 5 LEDs on your board: Our job here is to walk you through what could be wrong, and see what you need to do to get your system up and running again. It could perfectly well be your motherboard is defective, and it was just a coincidence it happened shortly after moving stuff around. In the past, whenever someone comes on here and says "It was working, but I moved some cables around and now it doesn't work", 99.9% of the time they just missed something. It's not that I misunderstood what you said, but part of the trouble-shooting process is start with all of the easy questions and to make sure something wasn't simply overlooked like a cable or component, and then move onward from there.
