Dead CPU behaviour

[rheykor]

Hey guys

 

I just built a computer but it does not post nor do any fans move. Every component except the CPU has been swapped out.

I thought that in case of a hardware failure the computer still tries to boot and would fail or give me POST codes, is this actually the case?

 

Hardware

-------------

ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS

AMD RYZEN 5 1600

Corsair VS650

HyperX Fury (2x, 8GB, DDR4-2133, DIMM 288)

Can u check if the CPU has bent pins?

It does have 2 very slightly bent pins.

do you have an old cpu spare that you can try?

[rheykor]

No, sadly not. Would straighten them help?

Yes it would. Here you can find a video that can help you straighten them.

Thank you for the link. The pins are perfectly straight now, but the behaviour hasnt changed. Does this mean the CPU is fully dead?

I measured each current output manually and everything looked okay. So I dont think the PSU is the problem.

If anyone still has an idea what to do here i'd be very happy. Otherwise I'm going to buy a new CPU.

I would try a PSU first. You can pick up a used one anyways just to try for like 20 locally

Update: I bought a new Ryzen 5 1600 but nothing changed. No reaction at all. I then have read something about BIOS updates. That sometimes a update is required for the mainboard to recognize the CPU. Could the BIOS be a problem or is it still a hardware issue?

Sounds like a hardware issue - are you sure the PSU is turned on and plugged into a working outlet? Are the case connectors connected to the right places?

I have replaced the PSU and i assured that the outlet is working. I connected the 24 pin and the 8 pin EPS to the mainboard. That should be enough right?
