So I have an msi x470 m7 ac and I just made a post about how I basically fucked it and the cpu. But after reading the manual I'm now more confused. It has ez debug leds that should light up if a specific component is broken. If I dont install a cpu the CPU led lights up. If I install my CPU the light doesnt come on to say it's broken but the system also doesnt post. Wtf is happening

3700x, cmos cleared tried reseating cpu multiple times after cleaning paste out of the socket and off the cpu pins. I dont have another board to test the cpu nor do I have another cpu to test the board. Also already tried with one stick at a time and double checked they are in the right slot. Its 2133 ram 2 x 8gigs

Can you maybe check again ? 

Maybe ask a computer store to update the bios for you 

Or check which one it has.

What other specs do you have ? 

Also most paste is not conductive so it shouldn't affect anything.
