Hey guys! I've been having a problem with my new build. I wanted to see if I could get some assistance here.
When Windows 10 was installing, it got stuck for about 3 1/2 hours at 50%. I turned the computer off, in an attempt to restart the installation. I ended up getting my Windows 7 CD out and started to install Windows 7. I let it go overnight while I slept. When I woke up, the computer was off. I turned it on and the fans would start to turn on, then it'd go off, and I'd hear a beep. A second or two later, it'd repeat the process, except without the beep. This would go on indefinitely, unless I turned off my PSU manually or pulled the plug from the outlet. My friend helped me build it, and this happened before. He reseated the CPU and it booted properly. I tried it myself and because I'm a dumb-dumb, I bent three pins on the mobo.
Any idea on if this is the mobo? I think it might either be the mobo or the PSU, but I'm not entirely sure. Is it worth it to attempt to bend back the pins on the mobo, or just buy a new one? (I bought the mobo used off of /r/hardwareswap.
Thanks a lot guys. I wish I could've joined this community on better terms, but it just happened to be when I have this issue.
Thanks again!
Thanks!
