Dead CPU or MB

[lilleenga]

Hallo

For ca. two weeks ago I wrote about my stuck sensor for my Quad Core CPU and RMA it...
Now I've received a new one, Installed it, but PC won't work.

It starts and shuts down, then starts again. The mouse's and the keyboard's light won't torch. The screen doesn't work either, but the light is on.

The MB's lamp shows a green light and the GPU's fan work perfectly...

Could I've harmed the CPU socket on the MB when I removed it for the RMA?

What's the problem....

It's difficult to determine which component is defective when you don't have spares. The easiest solution is to bring it to a competent shop that will determine where the issue is.

Best thing first off, clear the bios on your board. Your manual should show you how. Or you can always remove the battery then reinstall it.
