Thank you for your input. It’s looking more and more like the motherboard. Tried to do a bios flashback and couldn’t even get the flashback led to light at all.
The processor was installed in the motherboard and functioning in a friend’s computer before I received it. They should be compatible unless something has changed? I’ll give it a shot anyways. I’m hoping he didn’t somehow fry it during uninstall/transport
Unfortunately, I don’t have another cpu to try. The cpu and motherboard were used together before I acquired them so they shouldn’t have issues. I haven’t tried a bios flashback, but may attempt it later today. Thank you for your response
It should be noted that I have carefully applied thermal paste and according to bios (when it will run) that nothing is running hot - and nohardware feels even barely warm to the touch.
I have the same issue I’ve seen on tons of threads and have tried just about everything to get this pc running. Ill list my components and below that what I’ve tried and my results.
