Completely new to PCs and your video helped me recognize the meaning behind the motherboard lights. I had assumed that they LOOKED important, but looking closely, the CPU light was red! Very interesting. I just made sure all my connections were solid, and it booted back up again. Furthermore, the display was def plugged into the actual motherboard rather than the graphics card, so I just made a quick switch. Would not have guessed those two to be issues without watching your video...thank you!!!

@tareskisloki8579 Год назад

Great information here, just completed my fourth build and experienced my first boot failure. I was using the RAM, drives and PSU from the previous build, where they worked well. I have to wait till tomorrow to try these steps, but will update this if I can fix it. EDIT: ok, so it's fixed, here's how I got there. I checked over all connections and fired it up again, the EZ debug showed 26 which was confusing because it isn't a listed code, but the time it took to look that up was long enough to realise it was showing the temperature, had it booted and I just couldn't see? Turns out, yes. Out of curiosity I did the opposite of instructions and took my HDMI out of the GPU and put it in the MB, and suddenly there was my bios. I loaded optimised defaults and restarted, couldn't see again, so I moved the HDMI back to the GPU and it showed up, so that was good, but I still couldn't get past bios, it kept going to a blue page saying my PC needed repairing. I then cleared CMOS, and that fixed it, windows started and it was just a case of dealing with apps that didn't like the hardware change. It still has the occasional issue after a restart that the screen is black at the start of windows, but removing and reinserting the HDMI cable fixes this every time, bad cable maybe?

@yCyanx Год назад

Why would you not clear the SSD beforehand. It is not recommended as you changed to a very different platform so obviously there would be bugs.

@tareskisloki8579 Год назад

@@yCyanx honestly, because it worked without issue the first two times. Considering it worked this time once CMOS was cleared, I'll probably do it again (so much easier when you don't have to reinstall everything). The HDMI issue was just a bad cable too, so that is unrelated.

Enormous thank you for explaining the led issue, I had never imagined that looking at it closely would tell me where the problem came from.

I love how you covered so many different trouble shooting tips in this video!! You’ve given me a list of things I can do to try and save my pc 🥲 yesterday I installed a new CPU and SSD into my pc, and the pc would boot up, but nothing would come on the display. We even tried the motherboard hdmi port and nothing. So today we will be testing the different ram ports and individual sticks (something I didn’t realize you could do) and if that doesn’t work, we will be resetting the cmos and bios. My DRAM light is red but will occasionally flash to the CPU light, which tells me the new cpu is fine but maybe the ram is the problem. Fingers crossed, and will update later after we try to do some more trouble shooting! 😁

@DylanZ1201 Год назад

Tip for newbies, if your PC won’t switch on after tinkering from the manual power button on your tower, there is a good chance you probably unplugged the two wires that connect to the actual button itself. This just happened to me while replacing some front fans, and I accidentally pulled on the cable when threading through the old cables from the fans and didn’t notice at the time. Figured it out straight away, but definitely makes your heart race when your PC won’t start up 😂

@Claymoresmash Год назад

Had a problem with the computer not booting up at all, or just flashing power until it stopped. If you have the time or need to make your things work, look into how to set up your motherboard as a "test bench", or just the motherboard on top of a box (typically your motherboard box) and slowly adding components and testing them. Anyways, everything came back fine, but screwing the motherboard into the case caused this to happen again. After some more diagnostics, it turns out one of my screws was shorting out the board.

Apparently I had a PCIE riser power cable when I plugged in my new SSD and that killed the whole system, swapped it out for a basic power cable and it fixed it. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for your advice! This video definitely saved me from panic situations . My b550m motherboard was flashing the cpu red light and all i had to do was just reset the cmos and update the BIOS to fix it. Thanks a lot mate

@georges.862 Год назад

@@Zeriiius First of all thank you for your immediate reply. I've just bought this motherboard. Everything is brand new, since it's my first build. Could I really be this unlucky and got delivered a faulty motherboard?

I've never reset or had to reset my Cmos ever and I've built my last 5 system over the course of the past twenty years. Still not sure what set it off but for some reason my system stopped showing the correct amount of RAM. So I started checking all the bios settings and something set off a ram failure and I spent about three hours freaking out because this computer does all my studio music recording. After exercising all possible alternative including buying a new computer...I went out on a limb and crossed the streams...[the Cmos pegs] and yay it fired up! I probably have as much computer knowledge as is in your pinky finger...just enough to sometimes get me in trouble...case in point. So thanks for the tip...saved my ass much misery!

I was sure I wasn't going to learn anything new but decided to watch this video either way. I was aware of everything here except for one thing: I had no idea you can use the Reset CMOS pins while the computer is off! The way I did it was to touch them with the screwdriver while the machine is in BIOS, then watch as it shuts down and restarts with the BIOS settings reset to default. Doing it with the machine off sounds safer, now that I know I'll try that after an upcoming BIOS update. Cheers!

Your opening description is exactly the situation I am in. Nothing on the screen. Just the CPU and back fabs are going So I have no clues as to what it should be So I am keen to watch your video

@Flayrr872 2 года назад

Really reassuring advice for people considering a D.I.Y. build. For me, knowing everything that COULD go wrong gives a lot of confidence when I might have an issue and can gradually develop a diagnosis without having an immediate panic attack. (Snazzy jokes btw 👍)

Thank you so much for this video. I forgot to plug in the front panel that controls the physical power switch and thought I destroyed my CPU while adding a new CPU cooler. Started unplugging and replugging everything in and noticed in minutes. A thousand thanks man!
