Try removing the 1050 ti and using the on-board video (be sure to connect your display to one of the video ports attached to your motherboard). Any difference?

I’ll have to check tomorrow. I just got in the car for a road trip. I’ll tell you when I get back though. Thanks for your help so far.

No, still the red and yellow light.

I would try a couple things at this point. First, remove the CPU and inspect the socket for bent\damaged pins.

Leave the 1050 TI out for now.

Then, manually reset the BIOS.

To do this, follow these instructions:

• Disconnect all power sources: Power cable, video cable, powered speakers, etc.
• Press the power button to discharge any residual power in the system (I am serious)
• Remove the coin-cell battery (note which side goes up)
• Wait at least 1 minute.
• Replace the battery and reconnect the previously removed connections.
• Power on.

There is one missing pin. It’s right near the center. It’s on the lower half of where the socket is cut in half horizontal right towards the middle.

If truly missing, that could be an issue. Could you see the remnants of the pin itself?

 

[Voiromi]

Yes, it fell off when I took out the cpu to re set it in. I didn’t use tons of pressure or anything. It just flacked off. ( and yes the cpu was in the right position.)

Sounds like a new motherboard is in your future.

Yayyyy. At least Amazon does replacements.

Also i did some oppisies while assembling.
I touched the bottom and top of the cpu which I wiped off with alchohol after, should it still be ok?
. Also I’m almost 100 percent sure I didn’t fry anything while putting it together but to be sure what exactly does a fried cpu look like?

Physical damage is generally not covered, but you can certainly try it.

Your CPU is, more likely than not, okay.

I can’t tell if you’re saying my cpu is good or bad. I’m having a small heart attack

It should be okay.
