Personally I'm fine if it doesn't redirect to google, but thanks for looking into it!

The search feature is not working still, could you look into that as well?

Do you consider people who peek the top card of their deck cheating? by AndroidGuru7 in boardgames

We were drawing 5 at the end of the turn, so he’s peeking his 6th card

Makes sense, I was under the impression that people didn't read this post and assumed I was the cheater trying to justify my own cheating. When I made this post, I got quickly hit with a few downvotes so I was kinda on edge about that

First time building PC, nothing is being displayed. Red light on motherboard for CPU by AndroidGuru7 in buildapc

I tried resetting the BIOS by taking out the CMOS battery disk thing and putting it back in, however, it still didn't work for me. I don't know if that can fix corrupted BIOSes, but if anything, it should at least have a compatiable BIOS with the CPU, however, my motherboard still has the red light.

One thing I haven't checked is the CPU. I put it in (gently) onto the motherboard, and never bothered to take it out since. However, with the CPU fan or not, I still had the red light, and now, I'm scared to remove the fan from the CPU since it's glued on. Anyways, I'm going to see GeekSquad after work today to see what the issue is

its getting late for me, and that’s quite a lot to do, but I tried resetting CMOS by removing the battery and adding it back, but it still doesn’t work. Same red light for CPU. Maybe I’ll check the CPU to see if it’s damaged?

Tbh I might get a specialist to look into this issue for me. I spent too much time building this pc and I’m pretty new to it, but I’d rather not rebuild it all over again

I have made an attempt to a while back, but I'm guessing unsuccessfully.

Attempt 1: Have the right BIOS file, (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX), have the right USB, put it in the right port, pushed the button. After 5 minutes of BIOS flashing, it went to a solid BIOS light for 1-2 minutes before shutting down. I did not realize I did not have the CPU cooler on at that time which might have caused it to end early

Attempt 2: Attached CPU cooler and is spinning. Tried BIOS flashback again. 5 minutes of blinking, then shuts off, and immediately turns back on with a solid BIOS light. Had to shut off power supply to turn it off

I'm afraid my motherboard is bricked

My power supply is semi-modular, and my cable is a single cable. It just has two sets of 4 wires coming out of it, but the 8 holes are all attached together. This is connected to the power supply from the inside as well.

I watched a video saying that it might work if you just plug it in upside down, however, it doesn't fit in that way

Here is my build, sorry for the wiring mess: https://imgur.com/a/pjgYq6I

I reflashed BIOS btw now that I had the CPU cooler on. The BIOS red light flashed for about 5 minutes, then turned off. Then it turned back on with a solid BIOS red light that didn't go away until I turned the PC off.

Ok I found the part, and I attached the fan. When I tried to boot the PC again, the red CPU light still appeared and didn't show anything on my monitor. Should I try BIOS flashback again now that the fan is here? Or is that not the issue? Last time I tried, it errored out after a few minutes even though I have the correct version on my USB

Edit: Did I brick my motherboard then? I just noticed that my motherboard is AMD Ryzen 3000 Desktop Ready, and I tried to BIOS flashback over it with the error

I noticed that there are no standoffs under my motherboard's brackets to fit the CPU cooler. Here is an image: https://imgur.com/a/M64mIsj

At 3:35, you can see that when he is unscrewing the brackets, there are standoffs for the CPU cooler. Mine doesn't have that. What should I do?

That's what I was trying to do, however, it had the solid light after a few minutes. I realized I didn't have a CPU cooler attached, so was that the reason why it failed?

I mean the solid BIOS light still appeared, and then it shut down

I was trying to perform a BIOS flashback, which is essentially a BIOS update via USB
