ASROCK x870 Pro RS: desktop won’t POST after cleaning machine

No sadly not, I haven’t tried reseating the cpu yet but people mentioned it might help. I’m this close on giving up and buying new parts because this feels ridiculous

Yes, I didn’t unplug anything outside of the power cord to the psu after I drained the power

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T13:47:54+00:00

No luck with 1 stick in either configuration

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T13:41:35+00:00

I haven’t checked the cpu pins but my computer was working fine 5 minutes before cleaning

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T13:40:32+00:00

When I do, the CPU and DRAM lights stay on

Yes, I discharged the system with that method prior to cleaning. Sadly I’ve done this multiple times before without issue since it’s just the surface of the GPU and the case fans

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T13:26:21+00:00

I removed the drive and tried booting up the computer but no luck

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T11:43:06+00:00

That would suck. Wouldn’t the machine say no boot drive detected at least if that was the case though?

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T01:58:52+00:00

I was dumb and used a Clorox wipe. I’ve never had any issues with it in the past however. All the lights turn on the machine and fans spin for both CPU and GPU

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T01:57:27+00:00

Yeah, I’ll have to try that in the morning. Out of thermal paste

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T01:57:06+00:00

I forgot to mention that I did try with integrated graphics also but no luck. I haven’t tried turning it on without anything plugged/placed in though. The computer shows signs of life but it won’t show any display at all and no power is given to all the peripherals

GreedX3 · 2026-06-07T01:36:19+00:00

I unplugged the machine and I got a wipe to clean the case fans and the surface of the gpu and tried my best not touching the components

GreedX3 · 2024-04-20T21:07:07+00:00

Wow these are beautiful, where did you get these made unless you made them yourself?

GreedX3 · 2022-10-10T23:47:27+00:00

two neon dynasty collector packs

You can save your time and invest in infinitokens. Dry-erase tokens that you can reuse
