Hi Guys,
I build a computer over lockdown to run some calculations on a few months ago. It’s a number cruncher hence the 8 core CPU paired with a £40 graphics card. This was my first time building my own machine and everything worked perfectly initially. However, I left it alone in my room for like 2 weeks and now the thing wont even turn on. Usually there is like and orange backlight when it is plugged in and now that’s not even showing. No life whatsoever.
I had a previous laptop break in the same way, when I took it to a repair guy, he said one of the repair ports shorted the mother board? and the supplier said that my HDMI cable caused the problem? Initially I thought he was just saying this to get out of refunding me but now that it’s happened twice, I’m not so sure.
Have you guys heard anything like that? The HDMI damaging the motherboard? Or have I poorly selected parts and that has buggered it somehow Any help would be appreciated.
