I think you guys will enjoy this @Frizz @OddOod @--SID-- The location of bent pins gives me a strong suggestion that the dude tried to use screwdriver like a lever to put the protection cover up.

Yeah - apparently some IT specialist was involved in putting his PC together and he bent it - because prior to putting it together, CPU pins were alright.

Just a follow-up - the dude returned motherboard with 9 CPU pins bent. Lmao. @--SID-- @Frizz @OddOod

I had one Seasonic in my life, I don't remember if it was Bronze grade too - but it's the first time I've seen any electronic device smoke.

I'm sure it's either of these, considering they weren't very knowledgable. The motherboard is already on its' way back to me, I'll take it to local workshop and ask them to plug it (as I don't have a loose LGA1700 CPU to put in) - I'll post an update

He claims he and his buddy plugged in 3 different GPUs, and also tried booting without any GPU plugged (via CPU integrated GPU).

Hey guys! Straight to the question - I bought ASUS Prime D4 B660, I plug my CPU, GPU etc. and it works fine - the next day I sold it to dude online - because I figured I prefer to have ability to overclock stuff. Today he sends me info that VGA LED is lit and there's nothing on the screen - with the GPU in, without GPU in, with 1 RAM stick, without RAM sticks - his specs are: - RTX 3060Ti - Seasonic S12III 650 80 Plus Bronze PSU - i5-12600 He and his buddy tried resetting BIOS, taking the CMOS battery out, etc. - I'm guessing a faulty PSU or the BIOS needs an update, but I'm cluesless at this point? - The CPU fans are spinning, there's just no display

Or I can use GPU from my old PC for the time being

Even if the prices are winded up right now, I can wait to buy the GPU later

Prebuilt are generally more expensive than the parts they're built from - plus putting PC together is fun

Budget (including currency): Let's say... 2500-3000 EUR Country: Poland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: VR, HL: Alyx, Boneworks, Streaming, Visual Studio, Docker, Dota2, Witcher 3, Sea of Thieves Other details: Current screens: 3 x FHD (1920x1080), planned to get a 4K 120Hz in near future Need at least 32GB RAM I'll be moving my SSHD and M.2 SSD over from my old PC Would greatly appreciate a quiet PC case with a good dust filter and water cooling capability (if I decide to install it in the future) Preferably nVidia and Intel combo I'm totally not up-to-date with latest hardware if it comes to GPU's, CPU's and Mobos - so I appreciate any suggestions Suggest me something you would buy for yourself to get most value out of that budget. Thanks!

Both already disabled, I use Avira so I've turned defender off. Results - the same.

Did, 3 times.

Straight to the point. I've downloaded SQL Server Management Studio from Microsofts' page. Windows immediatelly showed message that the file is 'unsafe' and that it'll take '10 minutes to scan'. Needless to say, days have passed and I still can't run the file - it doesn't say anything, just shows a loading circle which disappears after 2 seconds and nothing happens. Any ideas?
