yeah i built it myself i just don’t want it to clear any info or anyrhing idk how this stuff works lol
yeah sure ignore all the extra stuff i just like keeping lists of everything i haveCan you list your full system specs or attach a PC-Part-Picker list so I know what we're working with?
how do i actually reset it, do i just remove it and that’s it?No on board video so remove the video card as suggested and reseat.
NB It will have a latch at the back of the card to release the card
Remove, Blow the slot out - air from mouth will do.do i just remove it and that’s it?
no luck after removing and putting back the you eitherRemove, Blow the slot out - air from mouth will do.
Replace
Test.
Don't forget the latch
i dismantled everything and am waiting on some new thermal paste to shipHave a look at post #27
reassembled everything but still no changehave flagged your post as Pending.
let us know when you have replaced the paste and how you got on.
there weren’t any changes, i turned it off and back on 5 minutes later and it was like thisI'm out of ideas unless you can remember any changes you made before the issue started.
i didn’t put everything back but i can take more out, and if not i guess i’ll have to bring it somewhere since i don’t have any extra partsdid you end up reassembling the whole thing on a piece of cardboard, and with only the core components to get into BIOS.
so no drives, no GPU (use the onboard port), no mouse (just a keyboard so you can press the Fn key to get into BIOS), only one stick of RAM, no external devices, no PCIe cards.
at this stage we just want to get a signal on the monitor.
if you have done all that and still nothing, it's time to start swapping out parts - and this is where having the stuff outside the case makes things easier.
I'd be starting with the power supply, then the motherboard - of course, making sure the parts you use for testing are compatible.
OR.... if this all seems too much or you can't get easy access to parts to test, it may be time to get the services of your local computer shop.
