I had some similar issues. I used DDU in safe mode. Select to clean audio driver, and restart in safe mode. Then check GPU deivers and clean and restart to desktop. The drivers should reinstall after the reboot. This worked for me. It's probably worth a try.

Hi, Installed the Ryzen 5 3600 and it's blistering fast. Win 10 installed lickety-split. Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3600MHz lasted 3yr 6mo continuous. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I suspect it was the PSU fail that bork'd my motherboard and CPU? I have lots of recovery and config to do, but I'm happy with the new setup. Bigger, Faster, Stronger, Broker.

hi again, So the continuing story. I have a replacement PSU installed. Thankfully, Seasonic has a10 yr warantee so it was the cheaper of fixes. The X370 still wound not POST, so I installed the new ASUS TUF B450 Plus II with the the same DDR4 and CPU Ryzen 5 1600. I was able to POST, but not boot into Windows, and the system will crash trying to reinstall Win 10 or Linux. I was able to run MEMtest for 24hrs with no errors, so here's hoping my DDR4 memory survived. I installed a new M.2 SSD and I have a new Ryzen 5 3600 processor to install next. Here's hoping that's the end of the spending spree. Update(s) to follow ... How is the MSI x470?

hi, The motherboard is being delivered tomorrow or Wed. Interestingly enough I found another erratic issue on the PSU. I used a multi meter to test the PSU. The first PSU test the voltages were all over, so I thought I would retest the following day. The second PSU test voltages were 100%, so then guessing it was a motherboard issue. Then I had a total loss off all power after rebooting, so on the third PSU test I had 0 volts from the PSU. Now I am awaiting a RMA replacement for my Seasonic which is supposed to arrive later in the week. I may still have an issue with the X370, but I won't know for awhile. Also hope my CPU and DDR4 survived all the trashy voltage from a failing PSU. Were you able to get any progress with your no-boot X370? Sometimes retesting can be helpful? I leaned PSUs can be really tricky. Just sayin

Hi, I have decided to swap out my x370 motherboard. I ordered an ASUS TUF B450 Plus II, a new revision which supposedly works with my existing hardware config. It's a relatively untried board so I'm questioning it. The previous B450 Plus version has mostly decent reviews. I have not found any VRM specs on the rev 2 B450, but I see larger heat sinks on the rev 2 which can't be a bad thing. I'm not a huge overclocker.

The MSI X370 build was a high maintenance system compared with my earlier builds. I prefer a set-and-forget but I was frequently reinstalling devices and drivers, or often restarting just to get the audio working, I have no means to test the CPU on another board, but my gut is the X370 has failed. If it happens to be a CPU or memory problem then I want to build on a solid new board and not the wonky MSI X370. I'm not throwing more money into the case with the wonky MSI, so I'm shopping for a new board!

I developed a POST failure on an X370 SLI plus mobo, on a stable build running from Aug 2017. If memory serves, the X370 was RMA replaced once in the first year due to audio fail. Just sayin, MSI. Specs: Ryzen 5 1600 CPU 16 GB DDR4 2800 - Patriot Viper GPU - Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 8GB 180 GB Corsair Force SSD 2 TB Seagate Firecuda Seasonic Focus Plus Platinum 650w Steps: -When powered up there is no POST and no video display. Also powered on with no devices without any change. Monitor tests OK. -Mobo CPU LED lights momentarily when powered up which I believe is normal. RAM, VGA & BOOT GPU GPU LED = OFF, also no beeps. -HDD is spinning at power-up, but drive indicator LED = OFF. Both the CPU fan and Case fan spin at power on. 2 fan headers have no power = OFF -There is no power to the USB, no LED on the keyboard and mouse. -I disconnected and reconnected/reseated all the power and SATA cables, switching ports if possible. I replaced the SATA cables. -GPU fans and lights come ON. I swapped GPU slots and also tried a different Radeon GPU with no success. -I changed slots of the RAM as well as powered up with 1 RAM stick. Also powered on with no RAM installed which caused the CPU and RAM LED = ON -I removed and checked the CMOS battery. Also, I reset the BIOS via CMOS jumper JBAT1. -PSU paper clip test OK, Multimeter volts test 100% on 24 pin and 8pin CPU cables all OK. I'm stumped. If you have any suggestions it would be appreciated. Thanks, Blair

thanks for that thoughtful reply. It's what I hoped for when I originally posted to LTT. We never have access to perfect and complete information ever, so we take a guess, maybe just buy what's on sale. As a community tho, I think there is more to learned from our collective experiences. Why bother otherwise? thanks agin.
