Today I switched back to my old Be Quiet cooler after using the stock CPU cooler for about a year now because I'm lazy. Now, my PC is having some very worrying problems.
First of all, I could hear a grinding noise coming from my PC after about 10 minutes of casual use. No gaming, just internet browsing. When I looked inside, I only found a slight disconnect in the 4 pins of my 24 pin connector that you can remove. I reconnected that block and now I have a new problem.
When I power on my computer, it turns on, the fans spin, I hear the sound of my DVD drive etc, but none of my peripherals work. My monitors don't switch on, so they have no input, and the LEDs in my KB+M don't switch on.
So, what could have caused this? ESD? General mobo damage? And can I get some advice as to how I can fix this issue. Thank you.
