I think you need to buy a new cpu

#

at least that has happened to me before and i needed to replace it

#

you can try re seating the cpu

#

all that entails is pulling it out inspecting it and putting it back in

#

I did do that @woeful plume

#

But no pins were bent and it looked fine

#

I tried using an identical cpu that I knew worked from a different pc and same issue

woeful plume Mar 19, 2023, 7:09 PM

#

then that means that it is a problem with the motherboard

#

True im just getting a new motherboard.

#

did you make sure the cpu has power

chilly laurel Mar 19, 2023, 7:17 PM

#

Ye

#

Like everything was plugged in fine

#

I made sure

#

I’m just gonna buy the same motherboard on Amazon

#

And if it doesn’t work I return it

#

thats a good idea

chilly laurel Mar 19, 2023, 7:20 PM

#

But I really hope it does

#

I’ll send you a picture of the interior of my pc when I boot it just in case I’m not doing something right

What's the unplugged connector in the top left

chilly laurel Mar 19, 2023, 8:17 PM

#

That’s not important

#

It’s just for some gpu’s that need another connector

#

Or power supply
