Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
The problem occurred last night after I attempted my very first installation of a cpu cooler, a Be Quiet ! SR1 heatsink fan combo, I chose this from good reviews. I'm not a professional tech guy, but have installed a new SSD, RAM (on old system) and a graphics card and wanted to add heatsink to the list.. which I am currently regretting.
I had to unscrew the motherboard, detaching all power supplies/cables to the hardware components, to install the new back plate for my cooler. After installing the cooler, plugging the fan lead into "CPU FAN" on my motherboard, I fastened in the screws reconnected the long power cable to the motherboard, plugged my disk drive, two HDD and SSD cables into the ports on the right of my board,
After double checking the motherboard screws I realise I have managed to some how misplace two, after testing to see if the board was secure (which it was) I go on to plug the two pci_e cables(two for my gpu) into the graphics card, and secure the card into it's relevant slot awaiting a click, after a gentle wiggle I was happy it was secure, and screw in the screw to hold it in place on my case.
I close her up, and take her upstairs, plug in the power lead, and all my peripherals, ( headset, keyboard mouse network Wi-Fi adapter and webcam, I decided to keep the window panel off for clear visual before starting up,
After powering up, the fan remains stationary on my cooler, graphics fans working, power supply was working, no beeping or obvious visual errors other than cpu fan, I change it to "SYS FAN" on my motherboard, which due to small case involved taking the mb off and moving the fan lead.
Fan now works, but peripherals won't, and my monitor has no signal. I noticed this morning near the Cpu was a empty 12v 6 pin, is that the problem? Nothing is connected to it.
I even moved my gpu to make sure i didn't damage the slot. No luck.
Thanks for reading through.I figured detail was key.
