Hello,
I would like to ask one question, I have changed my water cooling and cleaned the CPU block but when i was going to install the block back my CPU fell and i damaged about 4 pins. Now when i try to boot my PC it tells me on my motherboard VGA white light meaning there is a faulty connection from the motherboard to the GPU, I have tried everything regarding of cleaning the pins and inserting them back again and still i have the same issue.

Do you think that the damage on the CPU is the reason on why the motherboard is showing a white VGA led light ?

Kind regards

Yazid Hassaine

Have you tried re-seating the graphics card? Damaging the pins of the CPU is never good though

Meaning taking out the gpu and putting it back in ?

barren inlet Aug 13, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

Yep

worldly mist Aug 13, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

nope

#

will try tho

#

I will let you know if it did anything

worldly mist Aug 13, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

Still the same issue after re-seating the gpu

worldly mist Aug 13, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

Now when i tried it showed for a bit a red light on the CPU

barren inlet Aug 13, 2024, 6:28 PM

#

Hmmm. With damaged pins of the CPU I'd have to say that would be the issue

unless you managed to only bend ground pins, that needs fixing

dense flame unless you managed to only bend ground pins, that needs fixing

how do i know if it is a ground pin or not ?

worldly mist how do i know if it is a ground pin or not ?

if it still worked

worldly mist Aug 13, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

I bought a new cpu so hope that will fix the issue

dense flame Aug 13, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

Bent pins on CPU or?

#

you can easily fix the bent pins on CPU but not board (if the pins are on the CPU)

spare hemlock Aug 13, 2024, 7:50 PM

#

Well you can fix bent pins on a board, its just harder

worldly mist Aug 13, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

Yeah they are bent but only on the cpu

#

but i already bought the cpu it will be coming tomorrow, I don’t mind changing it atleast i am putting a better one on

#

But i was just not sure if it is the CPU that is doing this problem

#

I updated my BIOS about 4 days ago, i had one from 2020 and update to 2024, so i hope it’s not the issue with BIOS but i don’t think so because it worked perfectly fine until today when i changed the coolent and damaged my CPU

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @worldly mist, you levelled up to 3! :tada:

worldly mist Aug 13, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

dense flame Aug 13, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

yeah it is

worldly mist Aug 13, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

Ok thanks for the help, i will let you know tomorrow if it solved the issue

worldly mist Aug 14, 2024, 11:18 AM

#

Hello, just want to let you know i still have the same issue after installing a new cpu

Did you damage the mobo when doing your maintenance?

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @barren inlet, you levelled up to 12! :tada:

worldly mist Aug 14, 2024, 11:23 AM

#

I don’t think so, haven’t done anything to the motherboard

barren inlet Aug 14, 2024, 11:25 AM

#

well... over tightening the waterblock? were you grounded while doing the maint?

#

sure, I'm reaching here.

worldly mist Aug 14, 2024, 11:30 AM

#

the waterblocks are tight as they where before, not too much and not too little

barren inlet Aug 14, 2024, 11:31 AM

#

don't know fella... the only other thing would be to test the gpu in another machine or try a diff gpu into the "broken" one

worldly mist Aug 14, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

yeah, that’s the problem, i don’t have any gpu at home anymore, i might find a 750 gtx but i don’t know if that is ok to put in to my motherboard

What happens when you boot the PC

barren inlet Aug 14, 2024, 11:57 AM

#

What Bios is it? That to me sounded like 1 long and 3 short, which for AMI bios is Conventional/Extended memory failure.

#

Award bios it is - video card not detected (reseat video card) or bad video card.

worldly mist Aug 14, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

this is the bios that i downloaded

barren inlet Aug 14, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

OK, so the manual says it is a VGA issue based on the beep codes. Can you get into the bios and enable the onboard graphics?
