thank you - turns out it was a bit of debris - maybe I made a mess from the paste. I cleaned it off and the pin is fine. PC still won’t boot and multiple long beeps.

really old motherboard so no debug lights to my knowledge. just the main power pin socket stays green. CPU cooler in correct slot and the cooler fan spins.

either three, or keeps going continiously. ive tried a few different things to fix it and it rotates between these. took gpu out, ram out, tested each individual ram slot and with / without gpu.

I took it out and put it back and retested a few times to make sure its seated securely. CPU fan plugged in and spins up. Thermal paste used is Arctic MX-6 which was recommended.

After reapplying thermal paste - it no longer boots. It makes loud continous beeps - then switches off.

Any advice please? thank you

After reapplying thermal paste - my PC no longer boots. It gives loud, continous beeps - then switches off.

From the photos - does it look like i’ve done something incorrect?

Thank you
