Hello. This is my first custom PC build. Initial construction went smoothly. Installed hardware and software fine.
Then I began to notice the CPU temp at extremely high temps. I'm talking 90C with no load.
My friend had an old Cooler Master 212 EVO CPU heat sink. So I installed that. Now the PC won't boot up properly.
Read the sticky about power up issues. Double checked everything on the list no luck. Tried 2 other PSUs with no luck. Took out MOBO and tried external build. Nope. Triple checked CPU cooler making sure it was seated right and it was. Tried stock CPU cooler also with no avail. Cleared CMOS. Checked n tested RAM. No video out either.
PC will attempt to start up. Almost a flicker of power. Power down, then power up again and just idle. Fans are working. Will just idle and randomly power on and off. (Over heating?) I don't have a speaker for the MOBO to hear beep either.
While cleaning the CPU I did notice a scratch on the face. Maybe from the hyper 212? It did want to twist left to right a bit even when screwed down.
Here are my specs:
ASrock Z87 Pro 4 MOBO
Corsair CX430 M PSU
8 (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance RAM
i5 4670k CPU
NO GPU
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler (currently not installed)
Pretty bummed out ATM. Was hoping to do some gaming this weekend but that'll have to wait.
Any ideas???
