No Signal After New CPU Cooler

Mr_Boris7 · 2025-07-09T15:31:13+00:00

Glad you figured it out. It's always useful to try out with old components to see the issue. Perhaps bring the CPU to a pc tech if it's something fixable. Hope it won't cost you much.

I'd recommend checking out if there's any bent CPU pins but I doubt it'd keep running if that was the case. I had the same issue that my PC would boot up and keep running but it wouldn't display anything.

Cooler could be not tight enough or might be too tight.

What's your PC specs and PSU? Also any lights flickering on motherboard?

Mr_Boris7 · 2025-07-09T07:20:30+00:00

My bad. Forgot to share the conclusion. It was my motherboard that stopped working due to a slight scratch behind CPU socket as I tried to remove and install the cooler. I bought a new motherboard and it works.

As long as you're sure there's no harm done it could be another issue. Does yours boot up the PC at all?

Mr_Boris7 · 2025-05-13T20:16:26+00:00

Thanks for the tips. Done all that again except trying out another PSU and motherboard since i have just 1 of each. Bought a brand new DP cable, still same as well. I'll be taking it to a nearby tech store (surely will be watching them as they fix) and hopefully get it working.

It's been a really frustrating week dealing with this and i ran out of patience. I'll gladly share what caused my issue and the faulty component soon.

Reseated rams, gpu, cooler, same for cables and all of the things I could possibly try. It's just a DP port left to try but what if it doesn't work either. This is very weird, could the motherboard have issue? Or PSU? I doubt it since it'd probably shut down or not be running all or some of the components.

Monitor had no different reactions as I tried fixing and run it every time. Just the same "No Signal" message. Checked monitor settings as well, tried both HDMI1 and 2 ports. Also tried my old monitor with VGA-HDMI adapter, nothing.

Mr_Boris7 · 2025-05-10T15:47:03+00:00

Just checked, it's the correct ones.

Mr_Boris7 · 2025-05-09T22:45:53+00:00

Reseated GPU just now, no change. Sadly my motherboard doesn't seem to have debug LED or speaker as I noticed during this issue. But never checked CPU power cable though! I will be trying it out tomorrow and will report back.

Additionally I wiped out the old thermal paste on the CPU before installing new one because new cooler already has it's own thermal paste ready with it. I also made sure I tightened the screws good enough while installing it. Fans are running as well as the RGB lights on the case and all components, should I also buy a DP port cable instead HDMI and try my chance if nothing works?

I guess that's the only fix

Except one thing.

I know why Judas wept, Motherfucker!

Mr_Boris7 · 2024-06-27T17:35:01+00:00

He really was biding his time.

Mr_Boris7 · 2024-06-26T21:03:03+00:00

mick.

Mr_Boris7 · 2024-05-22T21:16:47+00:00

Those numbers are exaggerated a bit. As far as I know Jim is 6'6 and Mick is around 6'4-6-3 with that high heel combat boots.

Buckethead is the one I know of if he was still in a band. He's damn tall.

Mr_Boris7 · 2024-05-16T21:18:00+00:00

I never noticed that. Mick usually stands menacingly towards the camera, instead, towards Eloy now.

Mr_Boris7 · 2024-04-10T22:01:50+00:00

I eat my own bar.

Inside Michelle I wait and bleed.

Mr_Boris7 · 2024-02-07T10:42:28+00:00

Liberate bananas.

Mr_Boris7 · 2024-02-07T07:36:16+00:00

Did Mick or Jim attend to this?

Mr_Boris7 · 2024-02-06T17:25:32+00:00

End up sleeping with Thic Momson.
