Heya guys
A friend of me has been trying to build a rig and it didnt work in the first place, so i came along to help him.
We tried lots of stuff and nothing happened. The pc would start, fans would spin except gpu fans. The power led was blue, but underneath it was a led that was flashing red each 1 second or so. It kept on going until we turned the pc off.
We couldnt get into bios in any way, every cable (vga,dvi,hdmi) would give us no signal.
We totally disassambled the pc. Then i discovered that there was still a cover on the cpu socket. We had to remove that with some soft tools to not damage the socket itself. Asrock didnt provide us with the tool to open it.
Then we discovered a small pin on the cpu was bend because the cpu was already forced on the plastic socket cover for a day. We bent back that pin and the cpu fit into the socket.
Now we removed the gpu and tried to use the onboard gpu. We also applied only one stick of ram and swapped that between the 4 different slots. Also tried other ram sticks. Still, red led flashing and other led bright blue like it,s turned on. Processor and case fans spinning, still no signal.
Hdd has always been installed. Mobo speaker as well, doesnt give any peep or something similar.
We kinda don't know what to do from here. Returning the components doesnt seem to be an option since the cpu socket cover was forgotten and that is our fault for sure. Still, there shouldnt be a reason not to work since after bending the pin back, the cpu went flawlessly into the socket.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Specs of the build:
x MSI R9 380 2GD5T OC gpu
x AMD A8-7600, 3,1 GHz (3,8 GHz Turbo Boost) cpu
x Sharkoon VS4 Window case
x LG GH-24NS CEBL1E dvd mount
x ASRock FM2A88X Pro3+ mobo
x Seagate Desktop HDD, 500 GB
x ADATA 8 GB DDR3-1600, 4 ram sticks
1 x Cooler Master B500 500 watt PSU
