Hello everyone, I have been running into a nightmare scenario recently after I decided to upgrade my computers RAM.
In trying to upgrade the RAM I noticed that when I had (sketchily) built this PC earlier I had put the cooler on the wrong way, so the RAM DIMMs were blocked and I could therefore not add any more sticks unless I moved the cooler around, when I unscrewed the cooler and attempted to take it off, the CPU came off with it, glued via the thermal paste. I had to twist the CPU off and clean it. There was no visible damage to the CPU after this.
The computer was fully functional before this and now no matter what refuses to POST. No speaker beeps.
The CPU gets warm and the fans still spin but there is no video output whatsoever.
Computer Specs:
Ryzen 3200G APU
ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 Micro ATX
EVGA BR 500 W 80+ Bronze PSU
Patriot Signature Premium Kit DDR4 8 Go (2 x 4 Gb) 2666 MHz (PC4-21300)
I have tested with a different PSU, and have the same issue, I have reset the CMOS, I have tried with another motherboard (B350m) and I have just additionally ordered another B450 GIGABYTE board to test aswell. I would really not like it to be that the CPU has died over this as it would be an expensive replacement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am also willing to answer any questions to further help in filling the blanks.
