Well if I plug the hdmi into my gpu, when I turn on my receiver my monitor flashes off for a couple of seconds and then back on. Also, I have a vr headset that requires a hdmi port and my gpu only has 1 Edit: The problem now occurs without the receiver plugged in so it does not seem to a cause...

Problem has changed sorry Hi all, I just bought a used i5 6500 for my system and it was giving me a couple of headaches setting it up. I've fixed the majority of them but now have one major problem. So I plug a hdmi cable into my motherboard hdmi for audio from the igpu into my receiver(amp for...

@ElectrO_90, I will try fzabkar's method first as it seems the most logical and safe. It also shouldn't damage the parts needed for the other method if it does fail but I'll be sure to let you know.

So would that mean that a blank drive would theoretically work fine with a transplanted board but if it had any data on it previously that would get corrupted?

Calm down mate I'm just trying to learn. Since you seem to know what you are doing, can you offer an explanation as to why the replacement site said that they would be compatible? Cheers
