Relatively new build - No post

[Mitzy]

If u do return it for refund or exchange, dont mention about the frame, cos they probs say u broke it cos of that. So mums the word etc.

Oh I am RETURNING this devil spawn! Post office is open tomorrow and that’s where it’s going.

Wanted to ask. What do I do with the new CPU, is there a suggested procedure to check everything is okay with the new one?

Like… just CPU, RAM and no drives or should I just build it like normal. Also is there a crisis hotline I can call if I get the 4 beeps again? Unrelated are you aware of any extremely high bridges that don’t have high railings? /s if this mofo mobo beeps at me one more time!!!

No probs and yes that does make sense.

Hope you get this sorted with a new CPU.

So after swapping the motherboard, stripping this mofo down to nothing. Swapping the power supply and now finally, swapping the CPU this thing is back alive.

I had to wait absolutely ages on the return process for the 13600K but upgraded to the 13900K for my troubles.

I have put the stock retention clamp back on to test with 1 stick of ram and placed an air cooler on the top, didn’t even secure it. Just wanted to test boot, got 1 glorious POST okay beep then straight into BIOS.

Wife is off to work shortly and so I’m looking after the little ones for the next few hours. Will need to wait for her to return before I can do the rest of the build.

So happy. Would you ever have guessed the CPU would just die like that though?
