I have just recently installed my PC parts into a new case. Since then, my computer won't go past the post screen, its just stuck there. Pressing del, tab, f8 or anything like that won't do anything. Looking at the motherboard, I've come to that point where I feel as if I've done everything possible to fix it.
- Moved ram sticks to different slots
- Switched graphics cards
- Applied new thermal paste
- Reset the cmos battery / jumpers
- Bench tested twice
- Tried different PSUs
- Moved the jumpers to different positions over and over again
- Tried different HDs
- Replaced cmos battery
I also notice that if I put a ram stick into the slot nearest to the CPU, nothing will show up and the fans on the CPU and GPU will sound as if they're trying to start up over and over again, though visually, they seem to be going the same speed constantly. Trying to start up by just using one of the ram sticks in the other slot will work, but I'll still be stuck at the post screen.
I really feel as if there's no way out of this other than buying a new motherboard. I have yet to try different ram stick as I don't have any laying around, and I don't want to waste $20 when it could be something that's fixable at no cost. I'm really begging for help here, please!
