In the meantime, I am doing my research on Google (and fiddling with my PC here and there), but most of these people with this similar problem basically had this problem right after they built their PC. All suggestions will definitely help speed up this seemingly nightmarish long troubleshooting process.
#Cpu led on how to#
It took me a while to figure out how to put it all together (3 hours, it was my first time, took every safety precaution possible) so I'd rather not waste my time removing parts and isolating potentially irrelevent variables. Now with all of that being said, does anyone have any pointers? Solutions? I'd like to have some suggestions before taking everything out and isolating problems. I haven't observed the temperature (and I really should have because the computer is louder than usual during this) during those processes, but despite the heavy load, it'll happen really only 15ish max times a week, or even much less than that. On the other hand, I have been doing CPU intensive work (map development in L4D2, fully compiling for optimization and lighting tests), but it really only shoots my CPU usage up to 100% for around 40 seconds. I've been playing Overwatch a lot recently, which escalates the temperature to 60 degrees celcius give or take. The solution could be right there, you know?įifthly, I don't think CPU overheating is the problem. I could certainly buy online but things aren't shipped to me instantly. I'm feeling lazy, and who knows maybe the solution doesn't require going out of my way to buy some cables and use gas (expensive nowadays, yes?). I could very well go out and buy some cables, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. I do not, however, have any VGA or DVI cables to test my motherboard's on-board graphics. I don't want to potentially cause more issues.įourthly, my motherboard does not have an HDMI port. I'm still researching whether or not I should reset the BIOS using the CMOS jumper. So, no overclocking (my CPU is locked anyway). Just a couple of display optimizations from within the OS, to get it display right on my years old 1680 x 1050 TV.

Thirdly, I really didn't change anything in the BIOS. Oh, and I even took the power supply to a whole new outlet. Turned on the PC after such an action, and nothing. I even unplugged all cables and plugged everything back in. So I've checked if there were any loose cables somehow. Secondly, my PC has been sitting in the same spot for 2 months. This entire issue occured again for a second time, hours before this post. But I really don't want the solution to be waiting every 8 hours. After I woke up, I pressed the power button and it magically worked. So how did I fix it? Literally did nothing, for 8 hours. It froze randomly, and the CPU Debug LED lit up. One, this has happened yesterday (at the time of typing this). Now, a couple of important things I want to point out. Monitor: 10+ years old 1680x1050 TV, connected via HDMI (upgrading one day) I still do not know for sure if the problem is entirely the CPU. I observe the motherboard, and I discover the my motherboard's "EZ Debug" LED is lit up namely, the CPU LED light.Īccording to my motherboard's manual, this "indicates CPU is not detected or fail.".
#Cpu led on tv#
I hear the normal "booting noises." Nothing appears on my TV (connected via HDMI, using the GPU's port). TL DR: Basically, while I was using my PC, it froze. Just trying to give as much information as possible. Now hold on and read a little further before jumping to conclusions.ĮDIT: Huge post, sorry about that. After 2 months of using my first ever built PC with no issues, I could really appreciate some help figuring out this new hardware issue.
