Did i fry my motherboard?
I was setting up a computer i bought that has an xeon 5650 processor in a x58 Pro with HyperX 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3. I hooked it all up to my spare psu i had laying around which is 450watts. I also bought a ssd. So what happened was i started it up and everything was working good i was booting windows from a usb stick and was going to install it on my ssd but it couldnt recognize it so i shut down the computer cause it was late and was going to get back to it the next day.
The next day when i booted it up it wouldnt show any display at all. So i checked all my connections and everything was good. I tried 2 different video cards same problem.... than i noticed i only had 4 pin connector powering the mobo instead of the 8 pins i should have had. So i plugged them in and same thing no video. .... what could i have wrecked.
I was going to attach more pictures but the file size is too large. On the one picture where you see the JPWR2 i only had power in the 4 bottom pins not all 8 of them.
What i have tried
- multiple video cards
- using diffferent pci -e ports
- pulling the cmos battery
-checking connections
-vga and hdmi
If you guys have any ideas some input would be greatly appreciated.
