The new cpu worked perfectly and the pc is in perfect working order again I wanted to say thank you for helping me out on this repair job

Bought a 9th Gen Intel cpu because they seem to be at that sweet spot in Canada where they aren’t overpriced or rare because of the age, but also old enough so I’m not paying a new premium price, hopefully this works now

I was using my tv to test out the bench funnily enough I know the gpu is definitely putting out power because my tv will say “HDMI connected” but give no signal, I’m gonna try and hook it up to my monitor and see if I get a different result, worst case I keep returning stuff to amazon until...

Oohh okay, so same socket type but different generation?

The motherboard itself had the bent pins when the machine first came in to me, the original specs were AsRock z170A I5-6500 Gtx 1660 16 gb SK Hynix ddr4 ram R88 power ac bell 700w psu The parts are now AsRock H370M I5-6500 (New) Gtx 1660 (Same) 16gb Gigastone DDR4 Thermaltake 500w PSU I tried...

So I got the actual motherboard in, but installing all of the working parts onto the new board, doesn’t give the boot looping issue anymore, now it just boots with no screen, input, or anything

Yea I tried hooking everything up outside of the case to no avail, literally everything but the GPU is new at this point, and the case, but I didn't even use the case when setting it up the second time just to be safe, the computer now just boots, doesn't even get into the bios, I was thinking...

Yea I’m not too sure either, all I was told was that the PSU got taken out and put back in and then it would just boot loop over and over again, there’s about 6 kids in the house and the case is missing a USB-port so it's definitely seen better days, my best guess is he wasn't careful taking out...

I managed to find a second-hand Asrock board almost the exact same one that he originally had, hopefully, this works, I really am starting to second-guess myself, never thought a computer could cause so many issues

okay I’ll try searching around for a replacement again,

The old power supply was a generic Chinese unmodular 1000w power supply, the original cpu was the same i5 6500 and the one you posted is the right one, should I return it and order a second hand board off eBay?

The motherboard was an asrock170 but I had to go with a generic board off Amazon, the Bewinner lga1151 motherboard, anything name brand was outside of the customers price range, I tried disconnecting everything from the board, all drives, gpu, even single ram in both slots swapping between...

I recently started a small business in computer and electronic repair, but the computer I’m working on currently has stumped me, it was running perfectly fine until someone swapped the power supply in it, and then it suddenly started constantly boot looping, I replaced the power supply...
