System won't POST after EVO installation.

TheSneakyRaccoon · Jul 20, 2015

I run an AMD FX 4130, MSI 970-G43A, Nvidia 560Ti, G.Skill (1x8GB), EVGA 500B, and Corsair 200r. I got my CM EVO back from RMA, installed it, and now can't get a POST. I ensured that GPU and RAM are fine, and all the fans spin. The HDD also audibly spins. I moved the RAM to a different slot and had no luck. I know that the new CPU cooler isn't the issue, but what could I have botched? I reset the CMOS battery to no luck.

Check EVERYTHING at the following link, including making sure you have both the 4/8 and 24 pin power connectors fully seated in the motherboard sockets. GPU card power connectors and anything else that you may have disconnected and forgot to reconnect. I'd also make sure you didn't forget to use the insulator under the backplate if one was required and that the backplate is facing the right direction. Turned the wrong way it could possibly short the board depending on your platform and backplate model.

Darkbreeze :

I ended up replacing the motherboard and CPU. I must have fried them somehow, and I was due for an upgrade to Haswell anyway. Thank you!
