The fan and cooler RGB isn't turning on anymore but the fans itself are. Ive tried resetting and moving around the ram also tried resetting cmos. The dram debug light is on

#

I have a 7800x3d and a gigabyte b650 gaming ax x mobo

#

The PSU also makes a click when I turn the PC on

The GPU also turns on

unborn python
#

It was on when I bumped it

Everything turns on that's connected to the mobo except CPU and fan RGB I have one fan connected directly to the mobo instead of the hub and that only flashes when I flip the PSU switch and no other time

Well time to recheck ALL connections . as in remove all and rebuild?

#

could be a loosse connection, could be broken hardware 🤷🏻‍♂️ .

#

What I would do is If I wanted to use this pc.
remove motherboard from case, and build it up outside there,
since at this moment nothing is working I would disconnect the HDD / NVME, and start trouble shooting with the bare minimum of components.

  • Motherboard.
  • PSU
  • RAM
  • Processor.

nothing else, and connect the 24 pins + the pins on the left top.

  • start the pc using a screwdriver, and see if all is okay, no debug lights, and start adding more components.

Everything seems to be plugged in correctly it's just not booting

bro

#

you gotta be patient

#

dont expect someone to immediately answer within the hour

#

i would actually unplug the psu from the wall and maybe hold the power button to drain the capacitors in the psu

unborn python
#

The dots are just to push it to top of support list

Just let it sit and wait

#

At the minimum, bump it every 12hr

#

But as already suggested, pull everything out of the case and test barebones

unborn python
#

I mean no one seeing it doesn't help either

indigo goblet
#

Way more people see it than you think, it's just that not many people may either want to deal with helping or know how to

unborn python
unborn python
#

I think my mobo just has to be busted I don't understand what else

#

Or my ram but I really really doubt that

indigo goblet
#

Gotta try it to figure it out, the bump could have just simply bent the case and smth could be shorting that isn't triggering power offs

#

Pc troubleshooting starts from barebones when all else fails, due to how many variables there are/could be

unborn python
#

I guess then I would just need to bring it somewhere to test if it doesn't work anyway

#

But wouldn't shorting give other symptoms besides just not displaying?

#

Because everything turns on except the fan RGB but I think that's just because it's not being told to do anything

#

Because when I turn off and on the PSU switch the RGB flickers for a second

#

Fan only

indigo goblet
#

Say for example 2 pins to ram data are bridging, it may just prevent post but not stop it from trying

unborn python
#

And not even hard

#

Ig in thet situation I would still need to return the mobk

indigo goblet
#

Sometimes the "impossible" just finds a way to happen Shrug

#

It's why you test everything from basics

unborn python
#

Idk if it's worth bringing it somewhere or not

#

I guess I could order a new mobo to see if it fixes it and return if it doesn't

indigo goblet
#

Pull from case and test first smh

unborn python
#

It acts the exact same whether ram is in or not

#

You just leave the cooler off in tests like that right?

indigo goblet
#

With newer hardware (like 2014+) optimally not, if temperature protection doesn't work you'll fry the cpu

#

Only takes a few seconds to hit 100c+

unborn python
#

It will be a busted mobo in or out of the case

indigo goblet
#

more common of an issue than you'd think

unborn python
#

It definitely didn't bend anything inside

#

Not even the back panel is bent at all

indigo goblet
#

Deadass don't understand why you are so against just taking everything out and testing barebones sip

unborn python
#

For something thats probably not gonna change anything

indigo goblet
#

Then just let it sit or waste the money on having it checked out by a repair place xd

#

You came here for help, and then are resisting the advice given

unborn python
#

Im not resisting I just don't see the rationale the chance that the case is causing the issue is basically non-existent

indigo goblet
#

there's a reason why i am now the second person to recommend doing it, just saying

unborn python
#

He understand why you're saying it because it's just kinda a basic step so you can make sure everything is connected properly

#

But the only thing that could've been causing it if it was loose would be the CPU cable

#

But I already tried replacing it

jade drift
#

Have you start taking it apart?

unborn python
lusty ledge
#

Well take it apart

jade drift
unborn python
#

I'm gonna do it when I have a chance lol

jade drift
unborn python
#

I appreciate the help but I'm not gonna go without sleep to get you to reply to me

jade drift
unborn python
#

Lol?

lusty ledge
#

Since when is anything tech related more important than sleep?

unborn python
#

What busy for a while so waant able to get to it but I took everything out and the same thing is happening

pic of setup

unborn python
#

I forgot I pinged you guys the second I did it MB

lusty ledge
unborn python
#

I was talking in a diff server for the past two hours

#

Or well

#

It has to be mobo basically

#

But I don't want to risk it not being that and waste time

lusty ledge
#

Do you know what you bumped

unborn python
#

But like I did terrible cable management

#

So it wasnt all the way on bc of the CPU cable

#

So I was thinking before I tried anything that I pinched it and broke it somehow

#

But I tried a new cable and some thing haopewn
