    Question Motherboard won’t boot, was hoping someone else might have an idea of what to troubleshoot.

    Managed to get the bios flash to work. Installed the beta bios on “bios 2” and the stock on “bios 1”. I quadruple checked all the pins on the board, cpu, usb, etc and couldn’t find anything touching or broken. At one point one of the cpu pins looked a tad bit bent but I used a Bobby pin to put...

    Question Motherboard won’t boot, was hoping someone else might have an idea of what to troubleshoot.

    So, I tried. The tutorials I watched online showed the install process taking up to a few minutes with the MB flashing the whole time. My MB does 3 blinks and quits. I think the board is shot, unless anyone else has any thoughts. https://youtube.com/shorts/ofnz1XSiiXA thanks, Tim

    [SOLVED] Motherboard dead?

    Haven't had power to do anymore testing. On the same day the tropical storm came up and I've had no power ever since. Did a little reading and someone in another thread said something about reflowing the motherboard. I remember doing that years ago for my uncle's PS3 motherboard and it got it...

    [SOLVED] Motherboard dead?

    I think I know the answer to this. I guess I'm just hear wondering (and honestly hoping) there's something else I can do. I recently took my PC apart to clean, replace thermal paste and put back together in a larger case. When I was finally done nothing worked. Oddly, power was going to my USB...

    Looking to overclock my processor until Ryzen is released. Could use some help. :)

    Hello, I am looking to overclock my current processor until the new Ryzen chip is released. I never had done it before because I heard there could be risks, and I had used a stock fan. About 3-4 months ago I equipped my pc with a new graphics card (Rx-480-8gb VRM) and corsair liquid cooling...
