Hi all,
So I essentially rebuilt my working PC that has been going fine for years. I wanted to upgrade my stock CPU so I bought a new one and had to rebuild.
I removed all components and removed the mother board. I installed the new bracketing underneath the mother board and installed the new heat sink in fan. Then I reconnected all of the mini pins for USB, audio, etc. After that the SATA cables, graphics power cables, and so on.
I also connected the power in to the mother board as well as the CPU power cable (the big PCIE and the 8 pin PCIE cable.)
I aligned the motherboard back to the grounding posts, but I was missing a few screws. I was missing some before as well - but it was never a problem. Could the re - install have fried the motherboard?
I'm not sure I installed the little tiny pins that go along with the USB pins, etc. I'll throw up a pic if you like, but I want to ask the community if I'm missing anything basic...
Thanks!
