Hello everyone,
I've tried a new build this weekend. Not an expert but not my first build. I run into some problems (no POST, EZ debug led on MSI Z390-a pro with i9-9900K). When trying to figure out if the problem with the new build was the mobo or the CPU, I tried an i3-8100 from another build that has been working just fine. The i3 didn't work either with the new mobo, but when I put the i3 back in its original mobo (aorus Z370 gaming wifi), I get the CPU led light on, the light stays for a few secs then DRAM led light on, fans spinning, and no screen display. The i3 looks OK and the socket too (no pins bent, no thermal paste went into the pins).
Now, I don't have either my old computer or my new build.
Any ideas? thanks in advance
