Erm, did all those cables come out of the original case? I'm just asking because the flat cables that feed the Graphics card don't look the same format as the ones for the other motherboard power cables.
Original cables were already there prior to case move. The white cables on the other hand came separately, I ordered them with the new case.Erm, did all those cables come out of the original case?

I’m not sure because the previous owner made a lot of upgrades to this build. I am not sure where he got those cables from. The case which this build was in originally is a gigabyte chassis from 2008.Sorry double post
But everything worked fine prior to me disassembling it, so I assume the cables aren’t the problem hereThe white ones are fine since I'm presuming they are just extensions. but generally modular power cables are not interchangeable, even from like manufacturers.
Will doOk I think its back to my original suggestion of re-seating the CPU.
I Just bought a 650w Corsair power supply, I made sure I didn’t skimp on this one. It’ll be delivered tomorrowGood chance it is the power supply and to be honest at 13 years old I wouldn't even consider connecting a PSU of that age to a modern system.
I’m afraid reseating the cpu didn’t work, didn’t post.Will do![]()
Yeah, what if it isnt? Could it be that the motherboard became bricked? Or the cpu? Maybe it could be that the cmos battery died, who knows, just leaves us with more questions.Fingers crossed it's the PSU then.
New Power Supply and new CMOS batteries didn’t solve the problem, when I first plugged in the new PSU and switched it on, a solid red light appeared, I turned it off. After turning it on again, the LED blinks 3 times now.
@LoFStill unsure which light is flashing as there shouldn’t be a LED in the top corner ?
Be careful, lots of damaged AM4 sockets when the cooler pulls the CPU out.Can you remove the chip and try to see if has the same effect.
The diagnostic LEDs do not light up.
None of the dis
I’m assembling it again from scratch, pretending that there’s no issues, when I got this whole thing built, with everything connected, I’ll make sure to check thrice (cables etc), then we should see if it works. I have visually evaluated the cpu pins and nothing seems damaged, aswell as checked the motherboard throughly and didn’t find any anomalies.@brunation yep agreed, but given one of the power cables is not present and in this case the MB does states they should all be connected, I would try that first.

Ahh yes I’ve read it, didn’t even get to the bios at all yet since I can’t get this thing started. However clearing the cpu and trying to start it is something I haven’t tried yet, so I will give that a go.There is also this

OP says it was all working fine with orig PSU.but given one of the power cables is not present and in this case the MB does states they should all be connected, I would try that first.
BOL.I’m assembling it again from scratch,
