Hello all,
I have recently been building a PC from second hand parts and have ran into some issues. I would like to know if my two CPUs are in fact dead.
As part of my build I got hold of a MSI B150I Gaming Pro motherboard and a Intel i5-6600k. When I connected all the parts and powered it on nothing but the fans came on. No POST codes or anything on the display. So I started troubleshooting with by swapping out the PSU for a know good one. Still had the same issue.
Next I replaced the RAM with new sicks from Amazon. Still the same issue. In fact the issue is the same with no RAM installed. I also got hold of a used Intel G3900. This was did not help as the same issue existed. Then I ordered a new Gigabyte H110N motherboard and an Intel i3-6320 from Amazon. These two components with the original RAM and PSU booted to the BIOS with no issue. But when using the i5-6600k or G3900 I found the same issue no POST codes or output to the display.
After this I put the new i3-6320 into the original MSI B150I Gaming Pro motherboard and the same issue. So at this point a decided the MSI B150I Gaming Pro motherboard was the problem. But when putting the i3-6320 back in the Gigabyte H110N motherboard had the same issue as if by using this CPU in the MSI board has killed it.
Sorry for the long explanation bit I thought it was necessary for my ultimate question.
Has or could the MSI B150I Gaming Pro motherboard have killed 3 CPU? And has anyone seen this kind if thing before? Are any of the CPU recoverable?
Thanks in advanced.
