I am missing a standoff under the 24pin as was pointes out i guess ill rebuilt when i have time but i somehow doubt thats the cause, im thinking i somehow killed the pci port.


Ill also try an excessively long cmos reset(ill keep it plugged in.) though i did go with out this before



Once again thanks a ton guys!

If you unplug the PSU from the wall socket, then the PSU and therefore the chassis has no ground. Any capacitors in the CPU can't discharge then. Just that in itself could blow the motherboard. I don't believe that's what happened, but it IS possible.

It sounds like a standoff issue. Well it used to. Now it sounds like it may just be the mobo.
I checked all the BIOS's for his mobo, and none say for bulldozer or piledriver compatibility.


One of the old ASRock mobo I had did the same thing,
I powered off my psu, unplugged then took cmos out for an hour or so, and it worked.
It's just after a week or two the problem comes back, I'd have to do it again. So I tried rma but lolcanadia happened and was ignored/slow ass responses. So I just said fuck it and went with the good ol gigabyte ud3h =)

Another thing to check is the Clear CMOS jumper....on your motherboard, the jumper should NOT be on the pins.



/e If that jumper is ON the pins...it's never gonna work. ;)

I am, there was alittle plastic thingy on the "jbat1" pins by the cmos battery, i took it off started it no luck, and replaced it still no luck.


The mobo makes a noise when theres no vidcard.


Should i take it apart and return my mobo?

well fx 6300 has no integrated GPU like intel cpu's
so that's the noise it's making.. u need either an on board gpu or a dedicated gpu.

Okay the noob has returned



I rebuilt it,
Bios is back, but now its not reading my USB key, its recognizing it but booting from it i get an error reading the disk
ctrl alt delete to restart

Any ideas? the usb had worked to install before i had the display issues, would the restart mid install have wrecked the boot usb's functionality

Problem is i have no other PC to write a new one just my mac
