Okay I started reading all this
quick question
does the motherboard have any LEDs that give error codes
shadow halo
motherboard is some weird no name one that has 2 ram slots with 1 clip each
That's... concerning
are you sure there is no name?
lunar moat
quick question
does the motherboard have any LEDs that give error codes
Nope
Most likely thing is he bricked his motherboard somehow
Looks similar to what happened to mine
shadow halo
Nope
is it really a no name motherboard
double check
if it is, then it's probably bricked
lunar moat
if it is, then it's probably bricked
Yea it’s just weird it was working just before
shadow halo
Yea it’s just weird it was working just before
not weird
if it has no name it's probably not really high quality or even good
so I'd expect it to fail
