About a month ago my motherboard crapped out on me, and when I took my pc for some diagnosis at a local store they bent the cpu socket pins. Oh well. I replaced the board with the Z270 mentioned above, but received a 00 error on the board when I finally got it all put back together. Thinking that the incident with the motherboard had also damaged the cpu, I purchased a new i7-7700k. Just installed it. I'm still getting the 00 error. What steps should I take next to figure out my problem?

Does the CPU fan spin when starting the board? Can you test different power supply?

alexoiu :

I have the water pump plugged into the cpu fan header, but yes the radiator fans do spin up when the system is started.
I just got back from the store with a multimeter. once i figure out how to use it I will post the results.

alexoiu :

All voltages are reading at or above the stated values.

Not sure what the problem is... Faulty old CPU damaging the new board? Hard to say.
If power supply working, connections correctly done and still 00, then I'd RMA again both board and CPU,

alexoiu :

Turns out... I'm a dumb ass. I didn't have the power plugged into the cpu on the board. Plugged it in, and now i'm getting an A2 error. I'm going to unplug all of the sata ports and see what happens.

So... I am now getting several errors. 30 42 92 60 78 96 64 99 9C there are more but they flash by so fast... did I break another motherboard/cpu? hahahaha!

What code getting with RAMs removed?

Mortimerstonewall · May 21, 2017

alexoiu :

Ram removed results in a single error 53.

alexoiu · May 21, 2017

Then it's ok. Now insert single RAM module, graphics card removed, and see what code getting.

Mortimerstonewall · May 21, 2017

alexoiu :

Getting several. A2 9C 99 42 60 b2/62? 78 b4/64?

alexoiu · May 21, 2017

Power off and move the RAM module to different slot. Disconnect all storage drives/USB devices.
Start the board and see what is the final code (at the end of the codes sequence).

Mortimerstonewall · May 21, 2017

alexoiu :

Done. Still getting that A2 error.

alexoiu · May 22, 2017

A2 is normal, it means that the system does not detect a bootable device, but there should be signal on the monitor in this moment.
Are you using a monitor, or tv? What video cable?

Mortimerstonewall · May 22, 2017

alexoiu :

I'm using a tv through HDMI direct from the motherboard. When I first started having problems with the old Z170 mobo I got pissed and formated everything, so I'll have to do a fresh install and drivers set up.
Yeah it's booting now. I didn't notice as I had everything unplugged. I'm still getting a bunch of errors though. Is that just due to the fact that the system is gutted right now, or could there be further problems?

alexoiu · May 22, 2017

It depends on the code. If working, there shouldn't be any problem.

Mortimerstonewall · May 24, 2017

Put it all back together and now I'm not getting a signal. Took out one ram, and still no signal. It's still ending with A2 as the last error message.
