PSU?

Reseat your ram modules.and graphics card.

Niels Bruun · Sep 20, 2014

Can you explain how to do this?

Thanks in advance

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 20, 2014

You just re-install the card and ram.

Niels Bruun · Sep 20, 2014

I just tried this, and the result was the same.

FF= CPU error. Reseat the CPU. Don't forget to reapply the thermal paste.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 20, 2014

Sometimes the latch is ALSO loose on the CPU , GOOD CALL ^

CompGee · Sep 20, 2014

Thanks!

This is a video of what happens after turning it on with only power to CPU and motherboard.

CompGee · Sep 20, 2014

Do you have any other CPU's you could use in there?

Niels Bruun · Sep 20, 2014

CompGee :

No

CompGee · Sep 20, 2014

Does the computer have an AMD CPU or an Intel one?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 20, 2014

CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8350 eight-core

Niels Bruun · Sep 21, 2014

Big thumbs up to you all

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 21, 2014

Sorry to hear that , hope you get it back soon.

Niels Bruun · Sep 22, 2014

They wont take it back unless i know what is wrong with it... like is it the motherboard thats failing or the CPU? maybe the power supply?

CompGee · Sep 22, 2014

Do you have any other computers with the AM3+ socket?

Niels Bruun · Sep 23, 2014
