So, I loaded the default values stored in the ROM BIOS as the manual explains (moving the jumper), but I get the same error. Then, I brought it to technical service and the technician said me, after a couple of days, that motherdboard is dead (I guess he tried out every part) and I need a new one (mine has "only" three years). So, here is the question: ¿can I fix a dead motherboard? ¿Recover the ROM BIOS in some way? ¿Or the best I can do is send it to recycle.

Please! I don't want to buy a new motherboard. I'am also not sure if the problem is the socket as I'm not getting any signal on the monitor.

Everything is running and when I switch on the PC on the CPU fan is spinning faster and faster. Also, I am getting buzz noise from graphics card

Here's a picture of the socket: My cpu socket

My ram didnt work i was getting 2gb instead 6gb and I read that some of the pins might be bent and they where I broke some of them trying straighting them out and I did pick out all the dirt out from it .

The pins that I broke are :

I have noticed that many of intel's desktop chipsets for Sky and KabyLake have anywhere from 6-24 "Max # of PCI Express Lanes" when all of the processors have only 16 lanes. If you put a 16 lane i7-7700 on a Z270 motherboard with a "Max # of PCI Express Lanes" of 24, does the motherboard have its own PCIe lanes that stack on top of the processor's?

@danj I was hoping you could explain this, please.

EDIT (8/20/24): As of today, I have soldered the correct resistor on. The computer will now properly boot. Originally it would turn on but then show the code "00" (unused) on the mobo q-code without POST-ing or showing on image. Soldering on the new resistor fixed that issue. Something I did not see is my mobo says "Rev. 1.01" without the 'A.' That did not seem to affect the needed resistors despite the board view file saying "Rev. 1.01A."

old motherboard: ASUS P4T-E

old GPU: ATI Radeon 7500

old RAM: 2x Sim Tech C-RIMM 0150 Continuity RIMM module, 2x Samsung 800-45 256MB RAM

old CPU: Intel Pentium 4

its all dead except for 1 little green LED on the MB. no post codes, no display, no fans, no nothing.

I'm stumped.

@avanteguarde @danj @paperboypaddy any ideas?

power button does nothing. reset button does nothing either.
