Let me describe my night to you.
- My new M.2 ssd arrived in the mail. Super excited to get it working on my MSI X570 Godlike Motherboard.
- I look inside my PC and remember that I had planned to mess with my CPU Cooler as it actually hangs a couple mm too far over my first PCIe slot where I would ideally place my GPU.
- as I'm about to remove the heatsink from the 3950X CPU, I sneeze sitcom style and pull just enough to get the CPU off the motherboard without releasing it first. Usually I would twist to get them apart
- okay no big deal right? Check the pins none bent. Check for thermal paste smear where it should be. None I could find. Check the socket - looks alright to me
- I can't get the GPU to fit so I move onto the new M.2 SSD. The PC seems to work fine and I'm able to boot and clone my current SSD to this new one and everything seems to be working alright. I try to boot to the BIOS but all of a sudden I'm getting an error. 3E reads on the motherboard. CPU is not detected or fail
Guys I have tried plenty and nothing is working. This code immediately comes up. I'm a little freaked out now cause I've dropped quite a bit of money for the first time in a decade into this new build.
Please feel free to ask as many questions as needed. I'll edit as I cross things off the list. Thanks in advance.
Edit: oh I was having issues with 2 of the three Display ports on my GPU I remember that now but reseating it did not help
