MIAOWEE

Well at least It isnt bricked. And yes, I followed the msi tutorial. Honestly, im not sure what to do anymore. The CPU LED is still on and my brain is confused so im just gonna call it a day and look at this tomoz

K so Did this tried to flash bios, worked for a bit and now is stuck at solid red light

Ok will do asap

Yes everything turns on and fans spin etc. But the CPU LED is constantly on. I have tried out of the box, 1 stick of ram new cpu, 3 different mobos. Amazon must think im a dumbass.

Yes and a 3400g that I borrowed from a friend. Tried both.

Not as far as i can see

It Apparently isnt the mobo cos the CPU is still not detected. Its probably not cpu either cos it is the second one. The ram is fine I think cos the ez debug dram lights up if I take it out. Help!

Done that too By shorting jumper and taking out battery

I have now RMAed it and have now gotten a msi b450 gaming plus max. Finger crossed that it works

Yes, I tried taking it out of the band booting with 1 stick of ram etc. Nothing

At this point I might just RMA it and buy another max board

The machine never has POSTed. The reason why im flashing is because the ez debug light on my mobo is stuck at the CPU LED. I'll update the description with my specs

u tried updating the bios? also double check the sn for your bios. if i remember correctly , ignore the first 3 digits the check from there.

Im not sure, the rgb fands etc work

My b450 tomahawk max will not flash the BIOS. The LED next to the flash bios button ones not even come on When the usb is plugged in. Is it bricked or defective etc.? Specs: Ryzen 5 3600 1080 ti B450 tomahawk max Corsair CMK8GX4M2A2666C16 Vengeance LPX 8gb (4x2) 2666 mhz Corsair cx 650
