dldutkd01 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So i had this old computer which had a lot of heating problems and I messed around with it by myself because i couldnt get any help and one day the monitor was not showing at all What I thought had gone wrong was that I applied too much thermal paste on my new cpu and I was messing around with the paste on so the motherboard was painted with the paste on some places so i bought a new case a new motherboard and a new cpu i bought the same motherboard (link below) but downgraded to 6 core amd from 8 core because i didnt have enough money and i thought 6 was enough to play league and so i kept the Power Supply Graphics card Hard Drive and Ram and after that i connected them all together but the same problem persists: fan running from both cpu and graphics card while the monitor is black after that i saw somewhere that ram might be causing this problem so i bought another ram (link below) but i still have the same problem I tried the bios reset not sure what it does just trying everything i can If this thread cannot get me answers im going to get a professional help though im not sure where i can Motherboard link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009FC3YJ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[1] RAM Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WAGG14/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[2] Case Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WAGG14/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[3] Current CPU Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009O7YORK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1[4] please ask if there is any more info that you need out of me im not even sure if i even connected the pieces right im complete newbie at this first time i had help but this time i did it alone so thats why im not sure if i connected them correctly but i think i did okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikh Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I dont mean to be a dick, but what makes you think its a motherboard problem and now a RAM problem? Your monitor is video which is GPU, have you tried another GPU? GPU's do go bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dldutkd01 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 ? shouldnt it still work without the gpu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikh Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 How would you get video without GPU? does your motherboard have onboard? i didnt click on the link because it sounded like you had a dedicated GPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dldutkd01 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 this is the one i have and im sure the motherboard has onboard since i did see it work couple times before without the gpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dldutkd01 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 and i also tried the CMOS reset or whatever and tried reseating the ram with hard drive and gpu unplugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikh Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 ok pull the gpu out of the PC, plug into the motherboard, and restart. What do you see? do you hear beeps? if you dont have a speaker plugged in, find a speaker, itll help you diagnose easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
