How is the CPU cooler? Not mounted to (un)tight?

cpu cooler was mounted, tight, even removed it after, to check the cpu, same problem, and no signs of visible damage to cpu or mb.

Were you sure to use the mobo risers ( in between the mobo and the case) when you remounted to the other case?
You didn't forget the 8 pin connector did you?
The error (progression)lights on mobo stop at the CPU light correct?

Also did you use the 3 pin fan connector that is nearest to the 8 pin connector? If not you have to use the 3 pin CPU fan connector nearest to the 8 pin connector on the mobo or no post.

the mb was put correctly, i did not forget the 8 pin connector, fan is connected and yes, the only light that turns on is the CPU led.....dead cpu? :/

DRDNA · Nov 25, 2012

well that is what the mobo is stating that the CPU is at fault.

twicksisted · Nov 25, 2012

Make sure nothing is shorting the motherboard and that you have used the correct motherboard spacers for that case.

Im not saying youve done this but ive come personally across a few people who have just screwed motherboards straight into a case without using the raised spacers... or have put in spacers that arent needed shorting out the back of the mobo with the metal of the case.

iNgsane · Nov 25, 2012

the case is a carbide 500r, the spacers are already built in

Pehla · Nov 25, 2012

have u try removing all components out of case and try it all out?? reseat all components..then get back to us..

Athlon2K15 · Nov 25, 2012

My Z77 does this when the cpu cooler is to tight

de.das.dude · Nov 25, 2012

Sounds like a CPU mounting issue. try to take the cooler and CPU out and putting it back in.

have you tried a BIOS reset?

JrRacinFan · Nov 25, 2012

One can only assume you are running an aftermarket cooler, try a stock cooler.

I'm not familiar with that particular case but unless it only takes like one motherboard form factor then it cant have it all hard "built in" or youd get some sort of short when using either atx-matx etc as the holes are spaced differently for different motherboard layouts... you sure one of the spacer mounts "built in" arent touching the back of your board where they shouldnt and are shorting it out?

Only reason im asking is because ive had a very similar fault to this and it was from a new install where a screw dropped down the back/side of the motherboard and shorted it to the case.

either that or a possibly the CPU is mounted incorrectly (bent pin etc)

cadaveca · Nov 25, 2012

something as simple as a tiny piece of fluff can cause this. Remove fluff, board boots up.

make sure cooler backplate is oriented correctly.

Good luck.

I've removed the motherboard from the case and tried to turn it on, on top of cardboard with 1 stick of ram and the same thing happens, red cpu led....

iNgsane · Nov 26, 2012

i'm pretty sure it's either the cpu or mb that died on me...could use help on finding out which one, so i dont end up buying an unnecessary component.

Radical_Edward · Nov 26, 2012

Reset your cmos?

Did you try a stock cooler yet?

i havnt reset cmos, not even sure how to do that on this board, i didnt have a stock cooler before and there was no problem, not sure what diference that would make

Radical_Edward · Nov 26, 2012

If the cooler is to tight, it might have damaged the mobo, etc. trying a stock cooler that might put less pressure on the board if you can.

First thing I would have done if this happened to me is to reset the cmos. When in doubt, take it back to the "factory default"!

Peter1986C · Nov 26, 2012

@iNgsane, most likely the BIOS will be reset if you take out the battery of the motherboard.

JrRacinFan · Nov 26, 2012

Anyone have an extra stock 115x cooler laying around to loan? I know I don't =/

i have the one off my core i5 2550k that has not even been used. be happy to let the op have it but depends where they live and how much shiping would be.

i've reset cmos, still red CPU led....
