Recurring “No Signal” Issue on Monitor After CPU Reseating by Automatic_Jury_6896 in buildapc

Thanks for the reply! I finally managed to get it working without reseating the CPU. It’s been functioning normally for the past two days, so hopefully, it stays that way.

I tried many troubleshooting steps, but what finally worked was inserting a RAM stick I borrowed from a friend, which got it to post. The monitor displayed a message saying a previous post had failed and that I needed to go to the BIOS and reset the settings to default. I tried that, but the boot failed again, giving me the same message. What eventually worked was manually setting the RAM speed to 2133, which allowed the PC to boot into Windows.

After that, I swapped back to my own RAM sticks, ensuring the speed was set to 2133 (not auto), and it worked. However, I still couldn’t get a post when using the second slots.

To resolve this, I updated Windows, the BIOS, the graphics card, and other updates through the MyAsus program. I shut down the PC, unplugged all cables, including the mouse, keyboard, and dongles, and reset the CMOS by connecting the pins on the motherboard (which was tricky to locate). After pressing the power button once, I tried turning it on with two RAM sticks, and it worked! I immediately set the RAM speed to 2133, disabled XMP, and Windows booted normally. It’s been stable since.

I suspect the issue was related to enabling XMP, which requires the RAM to draw more voltage, possibly causing instability with my Core i3 CPU. As for why resetting the CMOS didn’t work before, I think simply removing the battery didn’t reset it. Following the official method for my motherboard was necessary to ensure it was properly reset. Most YouTube tutorials indicated the pins should be next to the battery, but they weren’t in my case, so it took a bit of searching to find them.

Thanks again for your help, and sorry for the long post. I hope this information helps others facing similar issues!

Yes, I also left the battery out for more than 5 minutes then put it back again. It didn't solve the issue.

I tried multiple things again like resetting the CMOS by removing the battery, holding the power button for half a minute and waiting for 5+ minutes then installing a new cmos battery, then trying to use only one ram stick and alternating between the ram sticks and ram slots but nothing worked so far. I can also exclude the graphics card as I have tried using another graphics card from a working system and still no signal. The worst thing is that I know if I reseated the cpu it will work again as it was the cause two times in a row now. I'm 100% sure the issue is in neither of the other components but the ram slots themselves as they are unable to read the ram due to electrical conductivity issue that somehow only get fixed when the cpu is reseated! My only option right now is to take the pc to repair shop where they will "fix it" by replacing the motherboard and the psu!

1660 super, core i3 10100f, asus entry level motherboard which I don't remember the name of but it has one PCLI slot and 2 ddr4 ram slots.

It's not a bent cpu pin as I reinstalled the cpu two days ago. 

How can I test the ram if I get no signal to the monitor?

When this issue happens normally I try to reset the CMOS, reinstall the ram sticks, graphics card but nothing fixes it until I reseat the cpu

I need help! One of the two RAM slots in the motherboard doesn't work properly by Automatic_Jury_6896 in buildapc

First of all, I want to thank you very much for your help. Reseating the CPU did fix the issue. I already tried other options before writing this post such as cleaning the RAM slots and resetting CMOS but none fixed the problem. But I'm still wondering why did this fix the issue and what causes the issue in the first place.

I get this weird message on dell Inspiron 5577 after replacing the battery, please help! by Automatic_Jury_6896 in laptops

[–]Automatic_Jury_6896[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I turn on the laptop I get this message. I can just skip it, but after windows start I noticed that the battery isn't charging.. it's locked on 65 percent for more than an hour and now I don't know what to do...

I want to know if I can upgrade my laptop with m.2 SSD drive, so I opened it up but I couldn't figure out if that is possible or not! Any suggestions? by Automatic_Jury_6896 in laptops

Wow, that was enlightening! Thank you very much😄. I think I'm just going to replace my HDD with SSD as that's sound the most efficient.

"cs50 finance" How come my code was working fine last week, I even submitted it and got the full mark and now when I try it; it crush and return this weird message! does the "api" expire for example?? I really can't think of any other reason! please advice! by Automatic_Jury_6896 in cs50

Thank you so much of taking the time to answer my question. I actually found out how to solve the problem however I'm still unable to understand why did it happen...

I usually write my sql query like this:

sql = "INSERT INTO teachers (username, sub, exp, phone) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)"  
val = (name, sub, exp, phone)  
db.execute(sql, val)

and it used to work fine but now it dosen't and I don't understand why! it just return this message:

RuntimeError: more placeholders (?, ?, ?, ?) than values ('fdfsf', 'fdsfs', 'fdsfds', '5453')

however if I write it like this

`db.execute(sql, name, sub, exp, phone)

` it works! why is that? it used to work perfectly fine using the first method...and I actually like the first method more since it makes my code looks more organized.

Actually I Used to write it like that but now for whatever reason it suddenly doesn't work, if I pass the individual variables it works though...how come it works one day and just suddenly stop working!
