According to the MSI manual, you already troubleshooted almost everything it seems; either the CPU stopped working for some reason, or you forgot to plug in the CPU power connector. It could also be a motherboard issue if the CPU works just fine with another board.

That's great, I'm happy to hear that! Just mark my answer as the solution, so that it shows as up as being solved.

That's strange; the codes it's giving out show that it actually seems to be booting up, but that the CPU is crashing somewhere during the boot process (more specifically, during System Agent DXE). That could be due to a wide variety of reasons, but it seems to be something wrong with your BIOS, CPU, or motherboard. You should probably try to reset your BIOS settings; you can do this by removing the CMOS battery from your motherboard for about a minute while it's not plugged in. If that doesn't work, I'd just send it over to a repair shop; they can test with different CPUs and motherboards, and I'm not too sure what the exact culprit is here.

You can read the Amazon reviews; from what I'm seeing, people seem to be pretty happy with that card. The only negative review just says that they ordered the wrong size.

It would definitely help; I'm just trying to see what codes you're getting, and how early in the boot process it starts to do that. Sorry to hear that, hopefully it's something you can easily fix. Best of luck

The 5500 is a pretty decent CPU; it should pair well with the 1660 Ti. From my experience, it's usually around 150€, while the 12400F is around 200-250€. For the 150€ price point, the 5500 does seem to be the best CPU to my knowledge.

That usually happens when the CPU gets too hot; there are programs that show you what temperature the CPU sensors are reporting, and you should try to check if it gets to 90-100ºC. If that is the problem, it usually happens because of a lack of thermal paste, or because your CPU cooler is extremely weak. If the CPU temperature isn't the problem, there are many reasons why your PC could do that; in order to narrow that down further, we need more information (does this only happen when you're doing something on your PC, what manner does it shut down in, etc.)

That's definitely strange; it sounds like you could have accidentally damaged something, and based off of what you're describing, it's most likely the CPU or the motherboard. What codes are you getting? It's possible that the motherboard might be telling you something. Try reseating your CPU, and check for damage on the motherboard; if that doesn't work, see if it still boots with a different CPU or motherboard. You should also check for a short, like @jauxansaid.

That's definitely strange; it sounds like it's crashing when encountering something. Considering this also happens on the installation media, it's probably a hardware issue of some sort. If you disconnect your SSD, does it still crash booting into the installer? If so, something's probably wrong with the SSD, but if not, it could be a misconfigured BIOS setting or another hardware issue. You can test for the former by resetting your BIOS settings in the menu; if that still doesn't work, then I'm not sure what it could be. What happens if you try to boot a Linux USB? Does it still crash, and if it does, does it give out an error message of some sort?

When something like that happens, it usually means that it failed to boot into the OS properly; most likely, there's something wrong with your BIOS settings or with the Windows bootloader. Try to enable Legacy/CSM mode, and if that doesn't work, try to repair your bootloader. (I'm pretty sure that's possible using the Windows 10 installation media). That's what's going on, yes. It can happen with an error early on in the bootloader, or more commonly, if it fails to detect one.

That makes sense; I was just finding it strange because I was actually expecting to have to pay more than 49$ for shipping, and people were complaining about it.

Uhh.. I might be biased since I live in Madeira, but are people seriously complaining about having to pay 49$ in shipping, and not 249$ for the backpack?

About half a year ago, I ordered the following parts: Two Xeon E5-2670 v2 CPUs (115W, or 230W for the two) two fabulous SNK-P0048PS coolers, which are somehow supposed to take on 145W each a Supermicro X9DRD-iF (Narrow ILM dual socket C602 motherboard) four 8GB registered ECC DDR3 memory sticks (for a total of 32GB), not on the RAM support list a Kolink EATX case and a 80+ Gold 650W power supply I tried to mount those parts together, but it wasn't POSTing. Tested it out on different monitors, tried to swap around and take out the CPU and RAM, nothing. Even with no RAM sticks it didn't boot, and it didn't emit an error of any kind, other than a green light on the motherboard. I'm not sure what's going on here; I don't know if any of the parts are broken. I only know that the BIOS is new enough that it supports the CPU, and that my RAM isn't on the support list, but considering it produces the same result with no RAM sticks at all, I don't think that it's even gotten to that part of the POST sequence. I also haven't been able to get access to the IPMI interface, but I'm pretty sure that it does actually have one (when I connected it to a router it started sending data), I'm just clueless as to how to access it. Should I just try to take it to a shop so that they can figure out what's going on, or is there something I might be missing?

I'd say it's pretty good, though there's two things I'd change: You don't really need the cooler; your CPU already comes with a pretty decent one. I'd swap the B450 motherboard for a B550 motherboard; it's more likely to support your CPU

Try to see if any cables are loose, then. This is strange, there aren't really any reasons why switching to legacy boot mode would do that

I mean, any of the RAM kits and/or motherboards should be fine. That warning PCPartPicker gives you just means it might not run as fast as advertised by default. You have four different 2x32GB (64GB) RAM kits in your build; I'm assuming you want 256GB of RAM. In that case, it's better to pick a single 8x32GB kit (or four of the same 2x32GB kits). You also definitely don't really need a 800$ 2,000W PSU; there are pretty good quality 1,600W PSUs for 450$.

If for some reason it doesn't, you can always just take it to a tech shop and get them to upgrade it for you

I'd say the CPU and motherboard is a bit weak; you should probably upgrade that to an i7 and a slightly better motherboard if you can. Other than that, it doesn't look too bad though.

Your build seems good, though there's two things to point out: You can share your part list with the BB button here. Just copy the text it gives you into your reply: You're looking at prices and shops in the US, which won't really be relevant outside of the US.

You probably should switch the B550 motherboard for an X570 motherboard though.

That's true! My bad, sorry for the mistake @Alcoz. The 10600K is 20$ more expensive and has an iGPU, but if you can't afford that, then go for the i5 10400 instead.

Hm, there's a few things I would change: That i3 and motherboard is pretty expensive, you can probably get something better for a little more money. Nowadays you can get a pretty fast 1TB SSD for the price of that 500GB SSD and 2TB HDD, I'm not sure if you need the extra space though. That power supply is pretty cheap, it's probably pretty bad quality; you don't really want to cheapen out on power supplies, your system won't last too long with a cheaper one You can get a motherboard or PCIe card with Wi-Fi, which will probably work better than that USB adapter. Here's a build I made that should be better. Feel free to swap the 1TB SSD for your 500GB SSD and 2TB HDD. It's 620$ without the mail in rebates, I'm not sure if you mind the higher price.

Reseat the RAM.

I'm using it on a normal EATX case with an ATX power supply. There don't seem to be any connectors specific to Supermicro and the form factor is EATX

I mean, I've only got one 130W CPU in there, and two 8pin EPSes provide 470w of power
