CPU upgrade no post
Okay, so I decided to upgrade my i3 CPU, with a i5, swap over when with no issues, but when I tried to reboot I had no post or graphics... Full breakdown below
System Spec:
Motherboard: Asus P8H61-M PRO
Ram: 16GB
OS: Window 10 Home
Version: 10.0.19045 Build 19045
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeFroce 210 1GB DDR3 PCIe
1) Removed the old CPU (Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240T CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz) and used compressed air to clean out a multitude of dust and crap,
2) Reseated the new CPU Intel Core i5-2500 3.30GHz
3) Applied thermal paste installed heatsink and fan
4) Powered up (No post and no graphics appeared on screen)
5) I Tried connecting to onboard graphics still nothing
6) Removed the i5 and replaced this with the old i3, and it all came back on
So open to any suggestions
