Motherboard is stuck on VGA LED during POST.
So I upgraded my CPU, mobo and RAM. Got 14700K, Aorus z790 Elite x wifi7 and Corsair dominator ddr5 RAM (16x2 GB).
I installed the CPU, put the motherboard in, installed cooler (DeepCool AK400). Everything went smooth. Installed my RTX 4070ti.
I Installed Windows 10, then updated bios using Q Flash plus button with newmicrocode. All went dandy, played Avowed and BLOPS6 with tremendous boost to performance. Everything was fantastic until me noticing that CPU temps were hitting 100C. It didn't stay there but fluctuated, was at 50C average on idle. But frequently hit 100C, checked Intel XTU and it was thermal throttling. I'm really bad at putting thermal paste, that's why I bought ak400 before because it comes with pre applied thermal paste.
However I didn't use new paste when I installed my cooler on this CPU, instead I let the residual thermal paste already on the cooler heat pipes and installed it.
I thought since I used the old paste with new CPU it's the reason CPU is heating up. So I ordered Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, removed cooler, cleaned both cooler pipes and CPU with isopropyl, put thermal paste and reinstalled the cooler. Turned the PC on and it has been 4 hours it stuck on POST and status LEDs cycle through, CPU blinks, then RAM and VGA and gets stuck there. No display, can't even get into BIOS. The VGA LED won't budge.
I have tried everything, reseating GPU, CPU, cooler, thermal paste, RAM, cables, everything. It won't budge, I'm in a rabbit hole. Any clues for the love of God.
