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 other stuff in
Look, I'm embarrassed about this but I'm honestly stumped here, had the worst couple of days of my pc related life. Got an entire new build to make for myself, something I have done many times before, took some parts out of old rig to pop them into new rig. Only the new rig didn't work (suspect slightly bent lga pins for what it's worth) and then, when I go to pop the old bits back in my pc and power up it's developed an issue, blank black screen vga light on motherboard and cpu fan stops spinning along with psu after a few seconds.
Bare in mind before I go on all these components worked fine together before simply removing them and putting them back in.
So troubleshooting steps so far:
(Note: vga light on this board indicates gpu fail or not detect)
-Tried another 2 gpu's across both pcie slots, same error
-Tried another psu, same error
-Tried various combos of above to eliminate randomness, same error
-tried remove cmos and wait an hour and holding power for 30 to clear residual power, same error
after above tried the motherboard connecters for onboard graphics, same error
-tried various connectors to ensure not hdmi drivers issues
-removed all power except that of motherboard and cpu. Removed any gpu, tried onboard graphics connecotor, same error
-also then took out both ram sticks, got dram led warning on motherboard, reinserted
-Removed any extra hard drives so just the boot drive connected (256 gb ssd, sata)
-double checked case for anything loose or wiring causing issues, cables aren't tidy but they aren't causing issues as far as I can see
- motherboard has no q-flash option
And that's it I'm out of ideas now the only theories I have left are:
A) the board just happened to develop a fault during this process, perhaps due to age and removing reinserted cards constantly.
B) Maybe during this whole process I managed to damage the board with static, though while I was working on carpet it's fairly unlikely as I know what I'm doing.
C) maybe my new rig was okay but the new psu I bought killed the new rig then the old rig? Though I only hooked the new psu to old during testing (new psu was factor sealed Corsair 1000w gold standard).
D) The PC gods hate me and don't want me to have a pc anymore.
Me: pc enthusiast for like 25 years, worked in it for 13 years and 6 years as a desktop engineer, and I'm gutted I can't figure this out!
