gamers: yeah my pc is fully kitted out I have a awjd2uy&755 and a NVUDIAMD(TM) GAMER EXTREME xxx with LEDS
me: ok yeah I have to see what replacement motherboard would be compatible, wtf kinda parts did I get again, better go find the boxes to see what they were
so going through the more proper debug steps (it doesn't boot), the CPU led stays on indicating a POST failure there. So a cpu issue instead of a motherboard issue?
:O so 2 hours later I have a new second-hand motherboard+cpu combo from another hackerspace participant, contactlessly delivered
still have to wait for a new cpu cooler tho hah
