Hopefully soon. I don't have any spare parts but I'm going to see if I can test it out at a service center later.

Link to my previous post: After my previous post I took the entire PC apart and put it back together, after which it DID POST for only a few minutes during which I was able to flash the BIOS successfully and run the computer normally. However, after noticing my headphones weren't being recognized, I replugged the audio pins and now it's reverted back to no post. Also, it did not post the first time after being reassembled. There were several attempts where the pc would post for a few seconds before shutting down. Only after multiple attempts was I able to post and flash the BIOS. Am I right to assume this is a motherboard issue? I've read forums where people had similar issues with the MSI Tomahawk B450. I attempted to flash the BIOS once everything was off the motherboard. But the flash LED would not indicate that it was working, nor did it flash at all when the button was pressed. There's also the fact that since day 1 my motherboard LEDs and the CPU/system fans would continue to run after shut down or when the PSU was switched on at all. I also tried different configurations with my RAM slots and it didn't seem to make a difference. I think my best bet is to replace the motherboard with a different one. I'd really appreciate some feedback tho TL;DR - My PC won't post and after troubleshooting I think I should buy a new motherboard.

No picture just a black screen. The mouse and keyboard also don't power on.

I built my first gaming PC about 3 months ago, but as of yesterday it won't post and the red CPU light is always on. Until now the only issue I've had is that sometimes the mobo would remain powered on after shut down, but I usually just switched off the psu manually after shut down. Never had any performance issue and temperatures seemed normal. Not sure what the source of the problem is but it could be related to the previously mentioned power on issue. Unfortunately I don't have another PC or any spare parts to switch out, so I'm hoping to narrow down the issue before I buy any replacement parts. Here's my parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/kevjmcclain/saved/#view=Vvcy4D Things I've tried: Draining the power supply Reseating the RAM Reseating the GPU Reseating the CPU Checking for bent pins (looks fine) Resetting the CMOS Flashing the BIOS (not sure if I was successful on this one) pls help thanks :)
