I need help [Urgent]

[Tim666ish]

My pc was running fine just a few hours ago. I opened it up to change my power supply and graphics card and when trying to boot back up my motherboard didnt post and had the 00 code. I decided to remove everything from my case and test the cpu and mo-bo individually. To my surprise i discovered that my cpu was burning hot even though i have a water cooler and the mobo was also burning hot around the cpu area. As you can see from the attached pic all the mobo leds light up.  I dont know if either of my parts are broken, can anyone help me out?

Why would you boot it up with no cooler attached? 

 

Also, that CX psu is total crap, get rid of it. 

[WoodenMarker]

There's no cooler on your cpu.

[3 Lions]

Describing it as 'burning hot' could mean you've cooked the CPU and the power delivery on the board

Where's the damn cooler... did you toast the cpu

[Tim666ish]

I have tested my old mobo and cpu with no cooler and it boots just fine

[Kered124]

You can boot them for a few seconds, but anything more than that and you are at risk of serious damage.

[Tim666ish]

I have, that's when I noticed the hot temperature of both the cpu and the board. I tried booting with my old 170 cpu and it didn't boot either, is it the motherboard? I'm letting everything cool down atm before trying again

[Kered124]

Of course it is going to get hot... Put the cooler back on, with new thermal compound if possible. Re-seat the CPU, check the motherboard for any bent/damaged pins. Be sure to tighten the cooler down properly, in an x pattern. Put the old gpu in the system since it is known good, and re-seat the RAM. Then try booting again.

remove the mobo battery and the ram, replace thermal paste and put everything back inside the case, then try again

I have done all of this. Please don't state the obvious. I just need help determining what broke and how it broke. I didn't fry the cpu, my system was fully built with my water cooler on and it still didn't boot, the keyboard and mouse didn't light up. The picture is me showing the mobo leds

Hahaha, old stuff was soldered, Intel nowadays uses toothpaste instead, you killed your CPU if you forced boot without a cooler

What specific CPU is it? and what exact motherboard model?

We can already tell the mobo is the Maximus 9 Hero

[Kered124]

Is it just me, or in the picture does it look like the RAM isn't pressed all the way in at the top? The very first locking arm appears to be in more than the one on the RAM module...

Nah it was pressed in all the way, it just looks weird

Yes, but i actually tried booting with my watercooler inside the case before removing everything and testing like this

[Tim666ish]

Lol this topic is hot

[AtomicWaveBlast]

Plug in your cooler 3-4 pin and see what happens

[Kered124]

Upon reading the manual for your motherboard, I see that error code 00 is unused. Id really go and re-seat everything again and try one more time. If no success, call Asus support.

When you boot, LED's that are below the postcode turn on in sequence and then go out, if they stay on, it indicates a problem with that specific component.

None of the lights turn on, the system appears to turn on but nothing happens, only the 00 code and all the fans start spinning but no keyboard or mouse lights and it certainly doesn't post

[Tim666ish]

I bought my mobo on amazon, should I ask for a new mobo there or just contact asus for a new one?
