Ok, ill let you know how it goes. Thanks

If are still within your RMA window I would go ahead and do that.

ASRock are pretty good with the bent pin issue, probably because it is an easy enough fix for them. If the RMA doesn't go through for some reason then post back and I can talk you through trying to straighten the offending pins.

Dropped the pc into a local It service guy today to see if he had any suggestions also asked him to reseat cpu in case i had screwed it up.
picked it it up, he just said it seems like a motherboard issue... no sh*t .!

just stripped it down again and there is bloody thermal paste everywhere from the it guy, not happy.

Pulled the cpu and got a torch to check pins and looks like iohave a few bent pins on the MB. dont know how that would have happened as i was so careful seating the cpu.  I can only assume this is my error as they wouldnt come like this from the supplier?

is this fixable or am i up for a new MB Ouch

Hmmmm ......

Have you tried using the Windows to USB tool from Microsoft? It works with a local ISO and as a new download.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool

I ask that as it could be whatever program you're currently using has a "switch' that isn't properly set.



But, more than likely it sounds like your memory is not fully seated. You should hear two clicks when it's in.

I'm assuming in both above you have no issue entering and navigating around in the BIOS.


I better ask this too now that I re-read your posts for the third time. Geek

In the BIOS, what are your temps looking like?


Thanks for the replies, have tried a fresh usb & created from MS tool as well as an iso file.
Can navigate bios with no problem and temps are sitting around 30c which is just a bit above room temp atm.

Have reseated memory & also tried with just one stick. also different brand stick i have.

ASRock mother boards will not send a POST beep speaker signal until the option to do that is set to Enabled in the UEFI/BIOS, Boot screen. POST beep is disabled by default, and you must install your own POST beep speaker.
