    Been trying to fix my partner’s PC. His motherboard keeps giving a 9C error code or gets stuck on that code - which apparently means a usb issue? It happens even when all USBs have been unplugged.

    So I swapped the mobo for another one, took me a bit unscrewing the fan and GPU in the way, and unplugging all the bits from the mobo, rearranging the screws on the case so the new (smaller) one fits, got it all back together and turned it on, but it keeps powering off and on.

    I forgot to put the CPU in it… 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I forgot the bloody brains!

    Now I have to remove the mobo fan and put the CPU in. I’m having a coffee before I do that lol

      lol after all that I find wine helps seat the cpu, gives a steady hand for the thermal goo and hitting your hand against your forehead hurts less. :)
