Hey all,
I just went to install the new RAM kits I bought from jibz (thanks man!) but in order to install them I had to remove the hyper 212+ I'd installed a couple of weeks ago (blocking a RAM slot)
When I went to pull that off it came off alright...along with the CPU that was stuck to it.
I've tried reseating the cpu (x2 550) but I noticed there are a couple bent pins on it - does that matter?
When I get everything put back together everything powers on OK but there's no display on the screen. I had the exact same issue when I first built the machine & found it was due to an improperly seated cpu.
I reinstalled the video card just in case but it made no difference.
So I'm at a loss as to what else it could be. I suspect it's the cpu that's not seated correctly, but I've reseated it 7-8 times & it makes no difference. Would those couple of bent pins be the problem?
Thanks for any ideas.
