Hey everyone. I gave my computer a good dust out earlier today, and when I plugged everything back in, I am getting postcode 00. Unable to even get to post. Computer powers on (fans spin. LED lights on. etc) but I never get to post and no monitor picks up any video feed
MSI Gaming M5 Z270 7700k GTX 1080 FTW 16gb G Skill EVGA PSU
I've re-seated the GPU, tried a different GPU, tried on-board GPU. Nothing. My next step is to re-seat the CPU. But wanted to post here anyway to see if anyone had tips.
Also the MSI manual I got online doesn't say what postcode 00 even means...
Thanks!!
Edit: Slight update to all of this.........
Long story short, my mom apparently dropped a piece of metal hard straight into my computer while I had it out on the table (i went to the bathroom... she tried to change a lightbulb above it. dropped part of the lamp. Failed to tell me this until now).
She said it landed "towards the bottom, in the deeper part." so in other words it hit the mobo on the lower end below where the gpu sits.
So I'm going to assume that that's the issue, and that the mobo is fried.
That would certainly make sense to me.
