Hey all, I'm new to the forum so let me know if I'm posting in the wrong area. Before I start, here are my specs:
Ryzen 5 3600x
Asus x470-I ROG STRIX (bios ver. 2801)
G.skill trident Z 16gb 3200mhz
EVGA 2080 XC Gaming
Seasonic focus gold 650w SFX-L
I am having a problem getting the computer to post after swapping my out my 1700x for this 3600x. I put in the 3600x and just get the red LED signifying CPU at the top right of the board. Fans spin an motherboard lights up. Here are the things I've tried.
• reseating ram
• testing each ram stick in each slot to determine if ram or slots are faulty
• loosened AIO
• tightened AIO
• reseat CPU
• swapped AIO with air cooler
• clear CMOS
• swapped 2080 for old HD 7800 series card
Finally I swapped the 1700x back into the board with the 7800 series card and it booted right up. It states I'm on BIOS version 2801 (which I believe is the latest). The only thing I can determine might be broken is my 2080 because it kept telling me that the PCI E power cable wasn't plugged in when it clearly was. But I don't think my graphics card acting weird would stop my system from posting... Would it?
Anyways, I'm going to bed so let me know if you need more info and thank you guys for help.
