Yupp it was the CPUs fault! Though when the system started with the ryzen 1400 for the first time, the motherboard took some time to get through the CPU -> DRAM -> VGA -> BOOT cycle. And I noticed that was on the VGA light for approximately 3 seconds before turning the LED off. Another thing that I thought... Could it be that, due to the heatsink being slightly smaller than the pin layout below the CPU, it applies less pressure on the pins on the sides? Are those the ones responsible for the PCI communication? The left one (red) is the 1600 that is supposedly broken, the right one (blue) is the 1400 that is currently enabling me to write this text. The heatsink that I'm currently using with the 1400 is still the same (see picture below), but I wonder if it something that really impacts the CPU or it's just that the 1600 got to the end of its life naturally

So I've finally made it to grab a ryzen 1400 and in a few hours I'll test the system with another CPU. Before swapping CPU I'll try to turn on the system again just to see if the problem still persists... I know that problems don't magically disappear, BUT I've taken the PC to a small ride, and MAYBE with the vibrations of the car, IF the CPU pins are the problem, it will automagically work again. Once I'll face reality... I'll do the following: Disconnect the above 3466MHz RAM modules, leaving only the 3000MHz ones. Remove the harddrives Swap the CPU If I have to bet I would go towards the third stage, as the only thing that has not been tested indipendently are the CPU and motherboard, but beacuse I have already swapped the motherboard...

Thanks for the insight! I'll check all the connections and hopefully I'll manage to isolate the problem. I'll keep you posted. Let's see if I manage to mix match the parts with another computer. Thanks

I totally agree with you on the RAM side. I haven't tried this test with the current motherboard yet, so why not! 2 months ago when I switched the mobo, it didn't seem to be anything broken on the CPU side. I'll also try that until I get another GPU for testing purposes. Apart from a visible bent or detached pin, could it be that there are more sublte cases of not functioning pins? It's curious that you mention the CPU though... It might just be the case. When I've disassembled the PC to troubleshoot the previous motherboard, I've mounted the PSU, GPU and RAM sticks (only the 3000MHz ones) on another intel system and everything worked falwlessly. So on the non-functioning side I had only the CPU and motherboard and conlcuded, probably too quickly, that it was the motherboard's fault. In a week I might be able to take out the CPU and try it on a functioning AMD system. This would probably be the most accurate way to discriminate between the motherboard and CPU

I've tried it last time with the old board (MSI Gaming plus B350) and a pretty old, but still functioning, GTX260. It did not work unfortunately... I can manage to get another gpu in a few days, but it seems like a recurring problem at this point. Like there is something that kills the motherbords

After months of not having the PC Tower due to the VGA led, I've finally decided to buy a second hand MSI x470 gaming plus carbon. it worked flawlessly for 2 months, I was stoked to finally have repaired the damn thing. But today I've decided to finally finish an AMD driver update that was pending for a week or so... The VGA light appeared again and the PC it's not even posting and managing to get the BIOS. Any ideas on what to do next to revive it? The hardware: MSI Gaming Plus Carbon x470 Ryzen 1600 32gb of G Skill RGB (2x3000MHz & 2x3466MHz) running at stock RX480 SAPPHIRE Nitro Cooler Master 700w PSU What I've tried: RAM (reseated & cleaned the contacts with a rubber) GPU (reseated & cleaned the contacts with a rubber) Cleared CMOS GPU cables reseated Put a live linux pen drive (obviously not booting from there as it is not getting to the BIOS)

Hi! I've recently installed CM13 on my LG G2 D802 and I sadly found out that it doesn't connect to Eduroam (educational wi-fi with PEAP authentication). I've saw many posts on Cyanogenmod.org: - https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/120117-wi-fi-problem/#comment-563659 - https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/104899-corporate-wifi-issue-8021x-eappeapmschapv2-connectivity/#comment-502043 aaaand I've tried several methods like: - https://eric10234.wordpress.com/2013/03/24/android-connecting-to-enterprise-wifi/ - https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/android-6-0-attention-before-upgrading-eduroam-802-1x-eap.438046/ But it just doesn't want to work... So this is my last SOS call... Does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks in advance, Denis

Thanks beavo451, I have an Asus RT-ac66U router. How can I set up the whole thing?

Hi! I have a Synology NAS (Ds414j) and I would like to browse my content remotely, like I would do normally with an external drive. Specifically I don't know what to write in Server Address, beacause I don't have a public address and I'm part of a NAT. If it's posible, I would like to configure this VPN with win 10 internal software. Thanks in advance! Denis

shiiiiiii********..... can you give an advice on this?

Yeah I know, but I was wondering if my RAM can work on lower voltages

Hi I have 2 sticks of 8gb RAM DDR3 Hyper x fury 1866mhz and I would like to know if they're compatible with skylake processors. If yes, can you list some motherboards that would fit? Thanks in advance

Thanks! But still.. Will I have to change my RAM or it's going to be 1.5v compatible?

I forgot to ask about new AMD CPU's! Thank's for reading my mind! Do you know the release date or expected performance?

First thing first my configuration: AMD R390 8gb RAM DDR3 Hyper x Fury 1866mhz x2 (16gb total) Cooler master B700 ver. 2 Dell motherboard (still don't know the model, it's a mystery) Intel i7 860 As you would expect, I would like to upgrade my CPU and motherboard. I would like to get a skylake processor, so the motherboard with lga 1151 socket would last for at least one more generation of CPU, but i found out that these MO doesn't support DDR3 (1.5v). So the question is, does my RAM run on a "skylake motherboard"? If not, what should I do? The options that I've considered are: - i5 4690k or i7 4790 with my DRR3 RAM - i5 6600 with DDR4 RAM (selling my actual DDR3 RAM would be a pain, because it's a recent gift...) Thank you in advance!
