Been trying to fix my partner's PC. His motherboard keeps giving a 9C error code or gets stuck on that code - which apparently means a usb issue? It happens even when all USBs have been unplugged.
So I swapped the mobo for another one, took me a bit unscrewing the fan and GPU in the way, and unplugging all the bits from the mobo, rearranging the screws on the case so the new (smaller) one fits, got it all back together and turned it on, but it keeps powering off and on.
I forgot to put the CPU in it... ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ I forgot the bloody brains!
Now I have to remove the mobo fan and put the CPU in. I'm having a coffee before I do that lol
lol after all that I find wine helps seat the cpu, gives a steady hand for the thermal goo and hitting your hand against your forehead hurts less. :)
I was stupid haha it had a CPU! I just forgot to install the sdd to the mobo!
ITS WORKING NOW I AM A GOD A SHINY GOLDEN GOD
Fucking good on you! You saved more than a few $ being able to do it yourself, that's for sure. Your partner is lucky to have a clever woman by his side!
Thank you!!! He is extremely grateful, and I've been basking in my own cleverness hahaha
And as reward back to your pre alpha game!
