Guys for real... what's the deal with this?? I have a 1500X, B350M Gaming Pro, Corsair Vengeance 1*8GB 2400MHz. I bought this build for a friend in October 2017, built it all, updated bios same day I got it, booted alight, installed windows, tried overclocking, didn't quite like it, removed the overclock, installed some games, stress tested the machine, benchmarked it, made videos of all of that, and delivered the device to the friend. A couple of weeks ago the poor friend shows up, Yo Bool.. the device just wouldn't work!! Mind checking it out for me? And I faced the very same exact shit that everyone up there mentioned. And of course I've tried all the simple stuff, connections, cmos, boring.. nothing worked.. and I legit cannot return any of this stuff to amazon.. cause it's been over a month, return window is closed.. and I don't think AMD has any retailers around!! WTFFFF IS GOING ON!!! Please for FCUKS SAKE!! Anyone got solutions or answers??? over 20 people already reported this over the past year, and no fcking answers....... There's a link to a Playlist I made on YouTube showing all this stuff..

I did, of course! It's just my friend's build, and I did all the trouble shooting, if that's what's confusing you!

Hey, No actually, BIOS functions just right, and.. from within the BIOS, I can see it says "Ryzen 1500X @3.5GHz blah blah blah", I can do whatever I want within BIOS. The problem only occurs after passing the BIOS, when windows tries to load in. And even then, as I showed in one of the videos, the SSD Debugger light was not lit, it was the CPUs one. Plus I tried booting the machine with my own SSD and still didn't work. About the CPU fan.. I don't really know, I don't think there could be anything there. One thing I tried tho, I removed the cooler, and tried starting the PC, (the problem was already here, was just trying things out), but it was a bad idea, and it was.. kinda weird, because although the PC did not even start, I was just inside the BIOS, the CPU was SMOKING HOT, I literally got a little bump on my finger when I touched it, I immediately shut it off and starting scratching my head.. Cause you know.. CPU shouldn't be burning its ass off idling, even without a cooler, especially when it was for no more than 30 seconds. I don't honestly know.. this whole thing is just annoying as fuck.. and frankly, I don't know if it's just my bad luck, or if it's only AMD components that ever caused me trouble.

yeah that.. I live in literally trash area, locals are basically useless. Tho, I saw on the amazon listing page, some people with my same MoBo and CPU (1500X and B350M) that the board doesn't support Ryzen 5 CPUs, you'll need to put a Ryzen 7 first in it, then it'll be able to "see" other Ryzen CPUs. But tho.. I've ran them both no problems, for two months, and I myself installed the latest BIOS update the day I built it, but the problem only appeared two months later. So, could it be a Windows update? But I didn't know a windows update could f*ck up BIOS settings and CPU "recognization"..

Well, forgot to mention it's a Ryzen build, so no on-board graphics. Here are the specs: 1500X msi B350M gaming pro vengeance 8GB 2400MHz 1060 3GB SSD (silicon power xD) CX 450 PSU Btw, my friends knows sh*t about PCs, I'm the one who overclocked, and I'm pretty experienced with it, wasn't my first time doing it!!

Yes, of course I have, I even tried it with my own HX1000i PSU (the problem is in my friend's build), I tried my GPU, my SSD, still persists..

I have tried that and more! Did every single possible physical solution.. nothing.. I don't have any MSI retail store/repair store in any city near me, and amazon won't return it because it's been more than a month.. I don't know what to do!

Been using the machine for a good couple of months. Not a problem. Tried overclocking (VERY SAFELY) the first week, couldn't get games to run stable, they'd crash after 20-30 mins, so I removed the OC, and still ran the PC for like a month and a half. Almost a week ago, the POS stopped booting for whatever reason, there are some Debugging LEDs, and the one indicating for the CPU is lit, and the manual says, that either means CPU is defect or not connected. Which is nonsense, just happened out of nowhere. I have a could of videos showing what happened exactly. Would really appreciate any help, or if someone could relate!

First off: I'm really sorry for posting my problems here, I'm really desperate and this is the only place I have to ask for advice on tech stuff! Bought 2 Vega 64's from amazon.com, tried to run them on my system, started with only one card. And simply, IT. DID. NOT. WORK! Exactly those four words, no matter what I tried to do, formatting the windows, enabling, disabling, installing, re-installing, un-installing, cache registries, tweaks, I have not left a single forum that I did not look into. My build is absolutely and flawlessly perfect, I picked up a friend's 1060, and another friend's 980 Ti, and tried those on my system, ran smooth like butter! Tried running one of my the two cards (the Vega's) on a friend's build (1500X on a B350M Gaming Pro from msi), and the card ran as expected, the performance wasn't... impressive, but games ran without crashing, PLAYABLE!!! I have submitted like 2 or 3 tickets to AMD through the driver's Report Issues section. They have not replied at all. My system: i5 4690K 4.4GHz 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Z97 gaming 7 MSI HX1000i PSU H110i GTX cooler Hyperx SSD and the two cards... I reached the point where I'm really just so so so desperate, I can't even browse the internet and watch youtube videos without consistent and persistent system hangs and crashes. Whether I'm running one card or two, that doesn't matter, my issue isn't with Crossfire. For example, I'm watching a youtube video, the moment a little load is put into the GPU, it crashes, the GPU Tach LEDs all light up for like 2 seconds, the driver crashes, screen flickers, loses signal, goes black for two seconds, and then connects again. Regarding games, there is absolutely no single game that I own that would work, from old games like Battlefield 3, to games like the new NFS Payback, Just Cause 3, GTA 5, Tomb Raider, Need For Speed 15, Battlefield 1, Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, Mass Effect 2,3, Andromeda......... they all immediately crash and give a DirectX error message talking about the driver crashing, similar to what I will attach! In other words, any task that requires GPU load, will either keep on hiccuping/hanging, or just crash and not work at all. I've had both cards for almost 3 weeks now, and I have not yet enjoyed a total of one single hour of compute time, whether gaming or browsing.. Of course, I have tried every single version of the drivers since August 7th (17.8.1) until the most recent driver (17.11.1)... Some of them are a bit more stable than others (the game would run like crap for 5-10 minutes before crashing), but they all SIMPLY DON'T WORK! I honestly don't know why I'm still caring at this point.. I waited so long for those cards. I'm truly disappointed... all they need is just a couple of minutes looking into previous intel CPU generations and work on the compatibility! I'll include some pictures, proof of what I'm saying, and I'm working on a video detailing every single issue I faced. I'll attach a few pics for now..

I'm so down to this @iBoolGuy
