Dropping it in on Monday for £40. I'm actually paying just to find out what the hell happened (though I suppose they may test for like 4 hours shrug and give me it back saying probably motherboard).

I'm honestly tempted to do this for no other reason then curiosity.

Yep that's exactly the conclusion I had come to, it's just such flipping horrible luck. I order an entire new build, take some parts out of old machine then put them to one side, test build new setup and it seems to have a motherboard or cpu issue and after some testing find bent pins on new...

Hmm on the pic not sure if you can see but the motherboard red lights anything it can see and use, so ram has red lights next to it as does gpu, if I move the gpu down into the next pcie slot though it has a white light next to it and fans don't spin up. This might be nothing to do with issue...

Good idea but no dice, even disconnected any sata cables from motherboard and same. Aw also on query from before nope never one used onboard graphics with this rig, so while it may work no idea if it did. Also I reset the cmos at one point (and have even replaced the battery (2032) just...

This is a pic of the system we are trying to fix (my old system) with the vga light on. Currently unplugged most of the case fans during testing and I'm aware wiring is a mess and it needs a dust. Also the ssd boot drive is loose as have been unplugging and replacing during testing. In this pc...

Ah sorry might not have been clear in the text, the lga bent pin issue was with my new build, I'm now returning that motherboard because if the pins. The main issue is the old pc which now fails to boot when nothing much seemed to have changed. Also for the boot menu, I have tried 5 times to...

Yeah def didn't mix modular cables, I'm 100% on that one. It depends what you mean by booting tbh, when I hit the power button this happens: Pc powers on and any fans currently connected to gpu cpu and case Spin up, a few seconds pass, let's say between 3 and 8, and in that time the psu fan...

Nope Just those provided in both psu's, nice idea though. Honestly I used to help people trouble shoot problems as my day job and I'm well aware the most common point of failure is between the chair and the keyboard ;) I just cabt figure out what or how I might have screwed up to cause this. Or...

Thanks for the response, I didn't include the entire story as didn't want to wall of text crit everyone but as for your questions: Components removed from old build we're never actually installed in new build they were put to one side and never inserted (old m2 old sata 2.5 old 3tb drive, old...

Aw and one additional, the only thing I have noticed is if I plug the monitor into the onboard display port the monitor screen stays blank black and never sleeps as if no signal, plugged into gpu it acts as if its trying to receive a signal and then sleeps as if it didn't get one. Have also...

TLDR: old pc which had no changes apart from a few parts removed then replaced stuck on no post with red vga light on msi h270 Pro carbon. TLDR Specs: msi h270 carbon pro Core i5 7600k Corsair vengeance lpx 16gb (2x8) Corsair 850w psu Other specs aren't that important as troubleshooted without...

Thanks for the advice. I'll be honest I had thought that it was likely to be the case that while thr cards would run on my current setup they would be hobbled to the point where it was pointless. I suppose for the picks you made plus a 3070 is still under 1000. Shame ti not get the 3080 but to...

I'm looking into a pc upgrade with the new gen of rtx cards but have some specific needs and am unsure which direction would net me the best performance boost. Current setup: Gtx1070 Msi pro carbon h270 Core i5 7600k 16gb ddr4 2666 corsair ram 750watt corsair psu Important bit: The setup would...
