Deadly CPU Mistakes: Avoid Installing it the Wrong Way! #cpu #pcbuild #pcbuilding #gamingpc

What happens if you try to install a CPU the wrong way?

As a PC technician from AM2 to AM4. I can tell you there's always that small percentage of people who think the solution to something not fitting is to use more force.

Dont forget to hammer the cpu down to make sure the cpu pins are seated in.

This brought comfort to my mind as my brand new built system currently won’t post/boot. A friend suggested I may have seated my cpu wrong, but I could’ve sworn I made sure to pay attention to the arrows, and I figured that It would only seat one way(the right way). I didn’t want to go thru the trouble of taking off my AIO to check and this makes me reassured that I didn’t mess up installation. I cleared cmos, reflashed BIOS, and still can’t get it to post/boot. The LED indicators flash in this order when powering on: Orange(dram), White(vga), Orange(dram), Red(cpu) then it begins to loop: White, Orange, Red over and over. Fans turn on, case lights, AIO, but no signal to monitor and the LED light loops constantly. I also found that the RAM I bought isn’t on the “QVL” for my cpu/mobo combo. Would that be the problem?

I was a bit scared because I thought if I wriggled it to get it to fall in the pins might get bent but from this video it looks like it should be fine.

Don't forget to thermal paste before seating your CPU. Put the paste between the CPU and the Mobo.

Engineers are so smart they do that w some car batteries as a safety feature
