I could certainly buy online but things aren't shipped to me instantly. I'm feeling lazy, and who knows maybe the solution doesn't require going out of my way to buy some cables and use gas (expensive nowadays, yes?). I could very well go out and buy some cables, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. I do not, however, have any VGA or DVI cables to test my motherboard's on-board graphics. I don't want to potentially cause more issues.įourthly, my motherboard does not have an HDMI port. I'm still researching whether or not I should reset the BIOS using the CMOS jumper. ![]() So, no overclocking (my CPU is locked anyway). Just a couple of display optimizations from within the OS, to get it display right on my years old 1680 x 1050 TV. Thirdly, I really didn't change anything in the BIOS. Oh, and I even took the power supply to a whole new outlet. Turned on the PC after such an action, and nothing. I even unplugged all cables and plugged everything back in. So I've checked if there were any loose cables somehow. Secondly, my PC has been sitting in the same spot for 2 months. This entire issue occured again for a second time, hours before this post. But I really don't want the solution to be waiting every 8 hours. After I woke up, I pressed the power button and it magically worked. So how did I fix it? Literally did nothing, for 8 hours. It froze randomly, and the CPU Debug LED lit up. One, this has happened yesterday (at the time of typing this). Now, a couple of important things I want to point out. Monitor: 10+ years old 1680x1050 TV, connected via HDMI (upgrading one day) I still do not know for sure if the problem is entirely the CPU. I observe the motherboard, and I discover the my motherboard's "EZ Debug" LED is lit up namely, the CPU LED light.Īccording to my motherboard's manual, this "indicates CPU is not detected or fail.". I hear the normal "booting noises." Nothing appears on my TV (connected via HDMI, using the GPU's port). TL DR: Basically, while I was using my PC, it froze. Just trying to give as much information as possible. Now hold on and read a little further before jumping to conclusions.ĮDIT: Huge post, sorry about that. After 2 months of using my first ever built PC with no issues, I could really appreciate some help figuring out this new hardware issue. I just copied this but method 2 worked for me.Hey guys. P.S Please bare in mind that the 3rd method should only be used if you have the following options: Backup BIOS should kick in again and everything will (hopefully) be fine. Remove the ghetto-like jumper you're holding between pins 1 and 6 as soon as you hear a beep.Ĥ. Tell a friend (or a relative) of yours to press the power on buttonģ. Short out pins 1 and 6 on the main BIOS chip (pin #1 should be marked with a red dot or whatever)Ģ. Backup BIOS kicked in using method #2, but I was back to the good ol' no signal state once the procedure finished.ġ. Had to use this one in order to get my 990FXA-D3 working again. Backup BIOS should kick in anytime soon now. Hold the power AND the reset button for about 10 sec, than release.ģ. ![]() Press the power button again, your backup BIOS should kick in now and should re-flash the main BIOS if there's anything wrong with it.Ģ. Hold the power button until the PC starts and shuts down againģ. Shut your PC down (if you're reading this guide, than your PC isn't working anyways)Ģ.
