Long story somewhat-short, I made a failed attempt to delid my 4690K processor, and I'm pretty sure I killed it. I chipped a side of the green board where some of the gold contacts are. I bought another 4690K processor and installed it w/ thermal paste and heatsink, reconnected everything, and it still won't boot.
When I reinstalled everything w/ the old processor, the fans on the PSU and graphics card would spin for about 2 seconds, then everything would power off, then it would turn on again and do nothing. No boot. The first time I tried turning it on, a red light came on to the right of the RAM on the motherboard. After that, the light came on no more.
With the new processor, I get the same results, except now the red light stays on every time. Does it matter if the processor is made in a different location? My old one said Vietnam, and the new one says Malays.
I'm at work currently, but I'll answer what I can until I get home to my PC. Thanks in advance!
