Hi Tomshardware!
I built my computer 12 months ago and went to pick up a CoolerMaster Gemin II S524 to install because I realized it had been running hot and loudly. I took off the original from the CPU, installed the new one, and after I had installed it completely with the thermal grease I realized I had to plug the fan in again. I fiddled around and finally got it plugged in, but had to painstakingly take out the RAM to be able to reach behind the cooler. I reseated the RAM again and plugged all of my components back in. On the initial startup it booted into Windows temporarily, but quickly BSOD and restarted. I waited, trying to get a look at what happened and it occurred again.
I reset BIOS, and tried to boot into Windows again but this time it went to the option screen where I pick if I want Safe Mode or Boot into Windows normally, but my Keyboard wasn't working. It sat there for a couple seconds while I tried to get power to the keyboard, and then it went to a screen with a small shape in the upper right hand corner about the size of a nickel but shaped somewhat like a block letter P.
Upon resetting the computer after this, the keyboard lights do not turn on, the mouse light does, and the HDMI powered monitor does not receive any signal. (I also tried to change it to my television to no avail) So I reset the CMOS, reseated my GPU, SATA cables, RAM (again), and other cables that I thought might be the issue with no luck.
The computer's specs:
ASRock 970 Extreme3 AM3+ Mobo
AMD FX-4300 CPU (at initial time of installation was OC'd to 4.2 but stock 3.8 as of now)
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 OC Edition 2GB GPU
8gb Corsair RAM, HyperX-Blu (or something close)
8gb G.Skill RAM, their budget type that came with my mobo for free
If there's any other information that might help resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated. I've been reading through a bunch of different threads on this website and others but their troubleshooting help hasn't been what I need to get my rig running again.
Thanks for your time!
