Hi people,
I recently bought some new heatsinks for my ram (to make it look expensive when it really was not xD) and when I put them in, I booted up my computer but there was no post, fans just cycled. Then, I reseated the ram and it started, but there was no post. Fans just kept on spinning.
Then, I noticed on my mobo that it was displaying both the debug LED's off, which means 'Abnormal CPU/Chipset error'.
I thought it was nothing to do with the CPU, because that's impossible (i never touched it), so I returned the motherboard to the place I bought it from. I don't have any other motherboard to test the cpu with, and I don't have any cpu to test the motherboard with either. I also don't have access to the motherboard because I have already sent it off to be returned.
The new one is going to come in a few days, but I'm starting to doubt that it is the mobo. What if it's the CPU? Is that possible? Is there anyone else here with the same problem that I had?
Thanks in advance!
PS. Specs
Biostar TP-67B+ Socket 1155 Mobo
Intel Core i5 2300
ATi HD 6850 (MSi Cyclone)
