I just installed a new motherboard, exact same model as the one I was using before. I got everything hooked up and hit the power button and nothing shows up on the screen. All the fans and lights come on but there is no beep and nothing comes up on the screen. No other hardware has been changed.
I have cleared the cmos by touching the pins together with the PSU unplugged. Should that be done with the psu unplugged or not? I have not taking the battery out. Would that help any?
I would put the other mobo back in but I am afraid I have damaged that mobo by removing the backplate for the cpu cooler. I put a little heat to it with a hair dryer and it turned the mobo a green color around that area and I still had to put quite a bit of pressure on it to get it off. So I could of dug into the mobo a little too. It looks okay to the naked eye though.
This is a brand new motherboard that has been tested out before it was shipped.
