It's a simple but very crucial question for me. This has been happening for a while now!

I had bend CPU pins, thus I got the VGA error. (One long three short beeps and white light)

I had the motherboard RMA'ed, fixed. And occasionally I am still getting the same errors. But POST goes through (A0) NO GPU card, by the way, I'm using iGPU.

My question is;

Would I get the same error if the "HDMI CABLE" between MOBO and Monitor is bad?


Thank you

I already had bad pins and just received the fixed Mboard.
I didn't think it was my fault the first time around.
I believe, I received the mobo with already bent pins.

So, it would be crazy if they are bent again. Unless the CPU is faulty and has been causing this pin bending trauma, I can't believe this would happen again...

I already managed it to work but the main thing for me is to know; "If a bad HDMI cable would get me those errors or not?" You know the beeps and the White light (but no Q code. Since it completes the POST. )

You said RMA / repaired was the board replaced or repaired?
I've seen Asus just send the same board back.
 
They replaced the Pin Bedding...
You know the socket for the CPU.

I am pretty sure they did that... Well, I saw the picture with bent pins and then I checked the replacement myself...

Hi, I have not experienced the errors so far, after reducing my HDMI cables with an extension plug to a single one.

But, I have received a response from Asus service that claiming I would not get those errors due to an HDMI cable error.
As disappointing as this sounds, I have one single hope reserved and that is; the service representative did not realize (why I don't know!) that I am not using a GPU card but instead I am on Intel's iGPU. So, I am hoping/wishing that maybe if they knew that the errors I got was with iGPU would change the equation and somehow I would be okay... Too much?

my HDMI cables with an extension plug<--------📋 That would have been helpful information in the beginning.
 
If I unplug the cable I get the beeps and the white light, and as soon as I plug it in (in next boot) errors go away... Supposedly they are on it!!! I am still waiting for a conclusion...

@ Fix_that_Glitch
I am pretty sure that wasn't the case after a while... Like from the third response on, the guy was not that remote guy anymore... But, who knows :)
