Have I fried my components?

[masonator_89]

this started with my graphics card removal.

 

So I shut my system down properly, turned off the PSU and unplugged my GPU, removed it, and took it apart to clean it thoroughly. All fine and well.

 

Put it back together and turned the system on and saw no post, okay.... Saw I left the GPU unplugged from the power cable. Whoops. I hastely plugged it in (with the system still on lmaoo whoops again) still no post, seems normal so I shut it down and turned it back on.

 

Now: I'll get the screen saying system shut down improperly press F1 for bios yadada but there shouldn't be anything changed in the bios. Save n exit, turn back on and it's just sitting on the Asus loading screen.

 

I turn on and off numerous more times, same thing, loading screen or it tells me the system was improperly powered off go into bios. I even defaulted bios settings to no avail. What's going on here?

 

I also now, sometimes, get the screen telling me there's a usb current overcharge so I unplug everything and still nothing works. Ideas?

-ive also removed the GPU and tried just the motherboard, the motherboard doesn't post whatsoever.

 

CPU: Intel i5 11600kf

CPU cooler: deepcool Castle aio

Motherboard:asus z590-p

Ram: Corsair 8x2 ddr4

SSD: WD black sn770

GPU: Asus 2060

PSU: EVGA (4 years old?)

I think you borked your motherboard.

Fr? Even tho it posts to bios?

If it gets to the bios that isn’t the issue I don’t think. Personally I don’t think there would be an issue if there was no spark, noise or anything from the connector when you plugged the gpu back in 

 

Does the bios show through the gpu or only on the onboard graphics?

Reset CMOS battery and reboot

On board graphics doesn't post. I'll try again right now, but my screen only lights up through the graphics card?

Try maybe clear cmos/reset bios to defaults

I tried that but I will try again for good measure

Your pc doesn’t have integrated graphics I just realised so in the fact it gets to the bios with the gpu then that probably isn’t the issue

Make sure the system has no power when doing this(and let it drain of power), otherwise the CMOS chip will not be reset.

I'm sorry... Are you saying that if you have a graphics card in your machine, it will allow you into the bios, but if you don't have a GPU installed the system won't even turn on?

Shut off and unplugged the PSU, took the battery out. I'll give it a good minute to reset itself

System turns on without the GPU installed, but when I plug the display cable into the motherboards display port, nothing shows up on screen, PC still turns on though

Which makes sense, because that CPU has no integrated graphics.

Interesting, so the HDMI/display port outputs are on the motherboard just for show?

You can install a CPU that does have integrated graphics present, so no. They are electrically connected to the socket.

I'm starting to remember now actually, I did buy it like that (thinking I'll never need integrated graphics)

 

Keep in mind everyone I've been off PC stuff for like a year while I've been busy, so I'm extremely rusty and newbie when I shouldn't be

In your case yes, because your CPU doesn't support it.

Yes I'm sure. Sometimes it'll let me go to bios, but then upon exiting it'll sit on the Asus screen (no windows loading circle)

I know now. I'm an idiot, I forgot I bought the cpu without IG because I thought I'd never need it

Considering your USB overcurrent and improper shutdown errors it does sound like a borked motherboard.

[masonator_89]

Okay after a full unplug and reset, here is what I'm now getting. What's my next step?

It'd be nice to know for sure, I've got another year left on the warranty so I can still get a replacement thankfully

Enter setup, verify your boot drive is set up correctly, and save and exit the BIOS. Let it POST and try to boot.
