Hi, Try removing the CPU and posting here a picture of the CPU socket.

Here the pic of the socket i guess one pin is bend .... sorry for they delay ... is this could be the problem ?

User9910 :

not only is theree 1 pin bent, there also appears to be 1 pin missing altogether

revised image here: http://imgur.com/wBS4BL0

and yes they both mater, they wouldnt be there if they didnt.

User9910 · Jun 2, 2017

So what can i do ? Any solution ?

Seanie280672 · Jun 2, 2017

User9910 :

you can very carefully try and straighten that pin, they are very fragile, and can easily be snapped off, thats probably what happened to the other pin, he may say you bent it as it was working before, if he decides to inspect it, you will need a sewing pin and magnifying glass to do it, or some very thin tweezers.

Nothing you can do about the broken one, and thats probably why the other 2 slots dont work at all, im pretty sure he would know about that, he probably bent it and snapped it off whilst trying to fix it.

Pretty much this

Your board is more than likely unusable

Does this seem better ?

Seanie280672 · Jun 2, 2017

User9910 :

Yes thats miles better.

But what is going on over here: http://imgur.com/qouBo3q I tried zooming in but it just went blurry, it wasnt like that in your first picture.

Have you tried it since you fixed that pin ?

alexoiu · Jun 2, 2017

Much better. There's still one bent on the right side.

User9910 · Jun 2, 2017

Yea it seems as some dirt trying to get it out but its wont get out ....

Seanie280672 · Jun 2, 2017

User9910 :

Use a straw and suck on it gently if you have one.

alexoiu · Jun 2, 2017

Can you take a better picture of that area?

Try installing the CPU and the CPU cooler, and see if getting signal with single RAM module installed.

Seanie280672 · Jun 2, 2017

User9910 :

Looks like a fleck of skin or something like that, possibly off your finger whilst fixing the other pins, try as alexoiu said, also please try the other ram slots that were dead originally, please report back if its all working.

User9910 · Jun 2, 2017

No luck same thing

alexoiu · Jun 2, 2017

Have you tested each RAM slot? Try also testing the other RAM module, graphics card removed (monitor connected to the motherboard)..

User9910 · Jun 2, 2017

Yea checked each slot ... will remove the graphic card ... but motherboard dont have internal vga port to connect to

alexoiu · Jun 2, 2017

You're right, I haven't checked. Try reconnecting the graphics card and testing. If still no go, try inspecting again the CPU socket and straightening any bent pin.

User9910 · Jun 2, 2017

No luck will check the soxket again

alexoiu · Jun 2, 2017

Try posting a picture again. Maybe we haven't noticed something.

User9910 · Jun 2, 2017

It seems nothing going top work i have lost the hope now
...
The guy will come on sunday and will take it top workshop ... lets see wht he will say ... most probably he will say 2 slots were not wprking by him and rest have been destryed by me ... so he will return half the money i guess

Seanie280672 · Jun 2, 2017

User9910 :

Dont claim that, the socket looks fine now, just tell him it was working fine apart from the 2 ram slots and now its not.

It could be that one of those bent pins were to do with voltage and has fried the CPU, unfortunate, but it happens.

User9910 · Jun 2, 2017

Yea i will see wht i could do abt tht .... just thought to buy a new gaming pc first time in life .... it would have been better if had bought the new one ....

Anyway thanks alot alex and seanie ... u both were really nice .. and tried ur best to help me

have a good day

bye
