opentoe Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) For some very odd reason I couldn't even post or boot at all. Nothing would show on the monitor I hooked up to it, couldn't even get in the BIOS.. Would just sit there. Troubleshooted for a few hours, and really never though taking the motherboard out of the case would make it boot. I'm too nervous to put it back in, maybe there is a short, or electric issue and don't want to fry anything. Anyway I was preparing to switch over to another case so it will stay like that until I have all the parts for the upgrade. I wish I knew what the problem was.

JorgeB Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Make sure all the standoffs are in their correct places. 1 Quote Link to comment
ghost82 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 You could also check if there are some beeps from the internal speaker, if you have it, and check also the bios post code on the motherboard, that 2-digits red display: sometimes it can point in the right direction to know why it's happening.

opentoe Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 All the standoffs are good, I've made the mistake while ago and kept shorting out a system. Now, I make sure. I have no speaker, just 4 LED lights that stay lit up in certain patterns which points me a little. I'll make sure later, if I install it again to make sure there's no metal touching anything it shouldn't, stuff like that. Quote Link to comment

opentoe Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 All the fans in the system went on and stayed on. It was a dead machine, fans running. Soon as I removed it from the case it has been in for years booted up the very first time. It is doing a VERY slow parity check so I'm just going to leave it there for now. Quote Link to comment

It's quite possibly something as simple as the incorrect orientation of the 4-pin CPU cable. The only way to know is to put everything back in while paying extra attention to the alignment of the various connectors, especially of the 4-pin. Quote Link to comment
