    Paul and Kyle do not call the CPU socket Zero Insertion Force for no reason: this (or ZIF, for short) is the actual name of the connector, dated back from the 90s. The CPU pin count and its names changes, but the socket connector itself has been named ZIF since almost forever.

      My very first PC build didn't have a ZIF CPU socket. They didn't exist yet for the 80386. :) It wasn't until I built a 80486DX based machine in 1990 that you could find a MB with a ZIF socket(Socket 2,3).

      SternLX true, but the 80486 was launched in mid 1989, so my statement of this socket being from early ‘90s stands correct. Yes, before the 486 it was a different socket altogether, but that was also before the 90’s :)

(i mean it all depends on how much you trust jim and his "slightly used" parts of course.) once you've exchanged a part, try again... if the error is the same, it probably wasn't that part.

      Tom Gilligan I finished my build about a week ago, and it all went perfectly. Literally just plugged in my parts and everything was fine. I just had to remember to double check what I was doing, before I actually did it. Things like RAM in the correct slots (A2,B2), the GPU is the top x16 slot, and taking it slow when connecting fans and stuff. I had no help except for CZcams videos. The hardest part was researching the right parts and then finding them in stock lol.

    Despite what is shown on the video, most motherboards does not have dedicated "power on" button, yet alone post code display. What you need to do in order to boot is to touch two pins labeled "power switch" or something in front panel io port. You can use screwdriver or anything that conducts electricity. It is also possible to connect temporarily power switch cable from your case if you are having problems.

    It was a Ryzen built, and Ryzen supported only a few models of RAM.
    Still I tried my luck and got a G Skill TridentZ (which wasn't on their Qualified Vendor List).

    I know that's an old video, but I had similar issue with an older build about 3 years ago. Same shutdown on power on, but didn't know about the load codes. I expected PSU to be broken, changed it, same issue. Turned out it was motherboard all along.
    I recently found this channel, around RTX 3080 launch, and I am following it since!

    I miss living in Detroit. 4 seasons with snow, auto shows, and a MICROCENTER!

    I feel like there are two wives that could have used this video when building identical pcs for a timed challenge...

    Great episode. It is really nice to see this procedure without having to install it in the tower.

    This video is fantastic, i,m helping my mate build his first PC and hes having a similar issue where there was no image, after changing the memory seating and removing the GPU the system wont even start, the PSU just clicks and shuts off, this will really help with the diagnosis of his issue. Cheers.
