Hi,
I recently decided to change some of the components of my pc build. I bought a new case, fans, etc.
Something must have gone wrong when I moved the components into my new case, because my motherboard won't even post. My PC stays on 5 seconds, then shuts down, and boots again, and "bootloops" infinitely.
I already checked some other threads and all the solutions I found didn't work for me. I checked all the connections, I switched RAM slots, I took off the battery for a few seconds, I cleared the CMOS by connecting the two pins with a screwdriver, etc.
What could have possibly gone wrong ? Everything was working fine 2 hours earlier. While moving the stuff I also cleaned my PSU, I opened it and took most of the dust off just by blowing, and I cleaned the fan. Did I damage it ? I also changed my CPU cooler, and maybe I forced a bit too much on the screws. Did I damage the CPU ? Or is just the motherboard dead ?
I don't have any other components to check everything separately. I can't check voltages either.
Thanks and sorry for poor english
