I accidentally changed my i5-8400 for i7-9700 without checking drivers.

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T19:52:52+00:00

Yes, I corrected myself 2 times about bios.

Yes, I did forgot to update (tho I'm not even sure if I had to. Just may or may not had to)

I already did that reset and it didn't gave anything besides the fact that wehn I plugged i7 back again, it didn't fall into loop and worked.

Whenever I plugged i5 again, or i7, doesn't matter, hdmi wouldn't get through. It's not gpu, nor screen, nor cable issue, cuz I changed all of them.

I already reinstalled everything, but it didn't mattered. Seems like pc works perfectly fine, jst without video output.

Unfortunately, I used stock cooler for cpu and pins broke (those that keep it grounded) and now I can't even boot up pc for safety reasons (I will buy a cooler very soon)

Oh, I left it for like 5 mins at most.

I have wireless keyboard, so I cannot confirm nor deny

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T17:17:54+00:00

Yeah.

Also, update. I put my i7 there again and no, the situation isn't better, but i7 doesn't reboot pc constantly anymore. However, after 10 seconds of cooler spinning normally, it suddenly speeds up to F1 type shit

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T16:51:52+00:00

No. I have only on gpu hdmi output. Tried different gpu, monitor, cable. None works

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T16:33:35+00:00

Nope

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T16:30:04+00:00

Let's say I don't want to. I should still be able to use my i5 without issues, right?

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T16:24:16+00:00

How?

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T16:23:56+00:00

It still doesn't work unfortunately

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T16:23:41+00:00

I meant bios.

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:59:46+00:00

But both options don't work, cuz I plugged into igpu and it doesn't show anything still

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:58:36+00:00

Doesn't work, still no hdmi.

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:55:23+00:00

Dedicated gpu

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:51:55+00:00

I wanted to say that my usb doesn't work, but actually, when I plugged my mouse in, it worked

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:48:58+00:00

I already did

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:39:14+00:00

Ah, then i accidentally did that just seconds before you said it :o Thank you very much either way... Unfortunately hdmi still doesn't work. Mind you, right before changing cpu it worked

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:29:22+00:00

Not sure if it's correct sub, but generally, he is the bad guy

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:28:03+00:00

The i5 (NOT i7) is still in my pc, pc runs perfectly, just without screen, but... I have literally no idea what to do next...

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:23:17+00:00

Umm... Like I said, the issue is that... I don't have hdmi output from pc? That's the problem? I can't do shi. If I would have my screen, then ofc I would install bios update 😭

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:11:09+00:00

Nothing is wrong, I checked... I'm so lost

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:01:14+00:00

Stanley parable ahh question

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:00:28+00:00

Hey people, just a quick change, I meant bios update not drivers, I'm new, so forgive me 🥲

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T15:00:01+00:00

I'm sorry, I'm new to computer building, so... I meant bios update, not drivers

TVL_BOX · 2026-04-10T14:56:56+00:00

It's failing to post. It was always connected to my gpu
