Good. Always try on your own first. > I tried that several times and still > got the "00" code after it booted. >> Please check if the CPU is installed correctly and then >> clear CMOS. Remove the cooler. Remove the fan. seat the CPU. Turn on the board. Does it still say 00? *DO NOT LEAVE IT LIKE THIS FOR LONG* as you will burn out the CPU (if you haven’t already). You might have also burned out the motherboard. Troubleshooting: strip it down the the minimum: a little RAM, the CPU, a video card (if you need it) and nothing more. > > Another time when I was > touching those things with the screwdriver, the machine turned > on by itself without me pushing the power button, but that > resulted in the same thing. Yes, there’s another spot on the board that will allow you to start/stop the computer in the same way. But if you touched more than just those two leads you might have made things worse. > > One thought I had was taking the cpu over to someone's > with an lga 1150 motherboard.

Can you send photos or post them on someplace like IMGUR please? Have you tried running the board outside of your case, but on a piece of cardboard or hardwood bench? You could even have a short in the case that you didn’t see (the most common issue IMO). > > -- > Brian > Ebenezer Enterprises > http://webEbenezer.net <http://webebenezer.net/> > > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
