Troubleshooting CPU Issues After Building My New PC
Asked by
TechSavvy123
Hey everyone! I recently built a new PC, and I'm facing a problem with a red LED debug light indicating an issue with the CPU. Everything else seems to be working fine, but this light is causing trouble. I can only connect one fan to the CPU cooler as my DDRAM is in the way. The first time I powered it on, the cooling fan wasn't working, which led to an auto-shutdown. After taking it apart and reassembling, I'm still seeing that red CPU light. Here's a link to my build for reference: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DW6Bdb.

I recommend trying to turn it on with just one stick of RAM in various slots. If that doesn’t work, consider booting it up outside of the case with only the motherboard and CPU connected to see if there’s any response.

Have you checked if the CPU_FAN header is plugged in properly? Also, if you can, try relocating the front fan slightly higher up. That might help with the cooling issue too.

I see you uploaded an image of your build. It looks like the wiring might be a bit messy, which can sometimes cause issues. Make sure everything is plugged in correctly and try rearranging the cables.
