PC unable to POST.

Hi guys,

The memOk LED is lit up and my PC is unable to startup. This happened after i removed my heatsink and reapplying the thermal paste on my CPU. I have tried re-seating all of my 3 x 4GB RAM, using only 1 stick of RAM, trying different slots and different RAMs, pressing the memOK button, resetting CMOS.

None of that works and the memOK LED stays lit. I have also tried removing the graphics card and all the RAM and try booting up and the motherboard have beeps. Does this mean my mobo is not dead? Did i fry my CPU when i was reapplying the thermal paste? Does anyone know what happen and how do i solve this.

Okay! Thanks for the help.

I suggest checking and maybe re-inserting the cpu fan cable to the correct header on the mobo..

They are properly placed in their correct header on the motherboard. Thanks for the reply!

Hi there,

Before we condemn your motherboard is dead, try resetting CMOS. Look for a battery on the motherboard, take it out for at least 30 secs. After taking it out, press the power switch on your desktop (note: your pc has to be powered off completely). This is to drain any small charge left on the capacitors. Hope this helps.
