I need advice. Problem with my computer.

Good day to all!

 

I need your opinion of what's going on with my computer. 

I'll explain you the story as short as possible so you'll understand more what's happened. 

 

It all started last March 24, 2020. The day I cleaned my computer where I removed all the parts to do a through cleaning. I do it annually as part of maintenance.

Then when I assembled it back, it won't POST, I've noticed that the LED Debug light points to the CPU. So my suspicion at first its either CPU, Motherboard, or PSU is the culprit.

 

Fast forward to June 2020, I've decided to reached out to my friend who has the hardware to test my parts out. He concluded that my motherboard's CPU socket "shorted" and he observed there are thermal grease around the HSF of the motherboard. So, I've decided to buy a new motherboard... He also tested that my RAM, CPU, GPU, HARD DRIVES, and SSD boot drive are FULLY WORKING. He even overclocked my RAM. Unfortunately, he didn't test the PSU. I'm not sure if he tested the old mobo dou...

 

My OLD MOTHERBOARD is a MSI B350 PC Mate while the NEW MOBO is GIGABYTE AORUS GA-B450 WIFI PRO.

 

Then when my new board arrived, I assembled it, to my biggest disappointed, it seems the problem followed (NO CPU POST) to the new one. I was very upset that time, so, I concluded that is the PSU is the problem. So, my friend made the wrong call that I need a new board.

 

So I've waited another 17 days until my new PSU replacement arrived (July 10, 2020), when I got it, I tried to assembled it FIRST with the old board, and IT WON'T POST, same as before.

Then I've changed with the new board, IT WORKS, for only about 2 hours... I've tested, EVERYTHINGS WORKING! GPU, RAM, even I could access all of my files in my drives...

 

Then I was prompted to restart my computer for windows updates since it's been over 3 months since it last boot. I properly shut it down and when it was about to boot, I'm back to where it all started again... (LED Debug lights to CPU Only)

 

I just wished in that time, I didn't clicked restart...

 

Now as I'm typing this, I don't know what to do anymore. I felt like blankly dumbfounded and totally dreams crushed once again. Please, any opinions or suggestions what should I do? Thank you.

first thing, can we please know what cpu you have? if there was no cpu post you should see if you can get your hands on a new cpu. That friend of yours might have a cpu that is compatible. Ask him to put a new cpu. if it posts, i would blame your cpu.

well test the mb with a different psu and test the cpu if it is working  and if you can test the psu with crap mb 

likely a cpu problem test all of you mbs and power supplies with another cpu
