It's not your fault, but I broke my PC. Any advice? #5
Comments
Gee, very sorry to hear this. Can you boot to BIOS? If your motherboard is making a series of beeps then look that up on Google to possibly find what the beep sequence may mean. |
Nope. No bios. I've tried VGA, DVI, and HDMI connection. Due to the lack of HDD lights blinking, I'm almost positive that I've overwritten some device that's required for the motherboard to boot. I was looking for anyone with knowledge of which I2C device I might have overwritten. It's looking like I might just have to buy a new motherboard. |
I added extra warnings in the README with commit 3215e49. |
hi, i had recently same issue, flashed i2c-0 which was obviously wrong and my laptop ended up broken |
I'm so sorry for not posting this sooner, but it was in fact a RAM module. I shipped it back, as ripjaws come with a lifetime warranty. Quick fix: Just remove each module one at a time until it works, then replace the broken module. Again, sorry for not posting my found solution. I hate it when people leave threads like this. |
well that ram is not broken it just missing serial presence detect (SPD), but it can be reflashed. tho even if u dont need it, maybe it can help others |
So I used this utility on a device that was not my monitor. My PC now will not boot. It turns on, the HDD light flickers a few times, but then stops. Nothing displays on the monitor, however I can use a raspberry pi on the same screen so I know it's not the screen. I replaced the graphics card, and still no luck, so I fear I may have written to some device on my motherboard? My only other thoughts are that I've written to a fan speed or temperature sensor, which I am aware are sometimes i2c devices.
My motherboard is an m5a97 pro. My OS is Manjaro Linux. If you need any other information, please ask.
