hi everyone, so since february ive been using an MSI B150-PRO D3 Intel® Core™ i5-6400K Processor(2.7Ghz) with intel x64 chipset and 16GB DDR3. (2 x 8GB).
I switched on my computer today and Nothing works. i get no screen and no start up beep.
I open it up to check and notice that when i turn off then on again the Debug CPU then DRAM light up. I removed my ram sticks one by one and restarted. still Nothing. i changed slots and still Nothing.
can anyone help me out here?? does anyone else use MSI motherboards?
Has your computer ever been overclocked?
I ask because “K” series intel processors are the “unlocked” units to allow easier overclocking.
If the answer is NO proceed to step 2. If yes skip to step X
follow the instructions in your manual to RESET CMOS.
This is usually done by shorting a jumper clearly marked on MOST motherboards and often near the motherboard battery
After proper CMOS CLEAR the system will often reboot
NOTE: When removing ALL RAM from the motherboard and powering on the system you should hear a series of fast beeps. Did you try booting with NO RAM installed to listen for these beeps?
STEP X:
After performing the above tasks clean and reapply thermal paste to your processor. Carefully observe the condition of any remaining old paste. This can guide you in future overclocking advantures.
