No POST in new Ryzen build, no beep codes

[Posttwo]

After assembly it wouldn't boot for over 5 minutes and hasn't given any beep codes, unplugged everything and reseated the CPU.

With no ram plugged in, and no GPU, it still refused to buzz out a beep code and required a long press on the power button to shutdown (all? mobos I've seen will shutdown with a normal press if they're erroring out)

 

Got no way to test the individual parts, it sounds like the motherboard is DOA, but gotta make sure before trying to return it.

 

Parts:

• Asus Prime x370-PRO
• Ryzen R5 1600
• Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2400C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 2400 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High
• EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Superclocked Gaming 6 GB
• EVGA 750 W GQ Series ATX Modular Power Supply

Tried both rams individually in 1A and 2A slot, tried no ram at all (which should force the mobo to error and beep like crazy)

Gonna go test with my current builds PSU right now

check sata power maybe?

Does that board have a Bios flash port on the back of it? Remember that AM4 has been plagued with Bios issues (Ryzen user talking here). If it does download the most recent bios on a usb and flash it from the port in the back.

Would it really matter, without a HDD it should still atleast boot into uefi, or give an error for lack of ram

Tried with old one, same result, no beep code no boot

Unfortunately no, the bios version on the sticker is 0511 which seems to be pretty recent (2 newer versions available)

Swapped the motherboard to a ab350 gaming 3

Still no boot, the debug led for CPU fail is lightning up

 

Unless the psu is not supplying enough power somehow, it's gotta be the cpu that's dead right?

it's rare to see a dead CPU from the factory but it can happen, DOA both the CPU and MB just in case, one or both might be broke, if one is working the manufacture will just send it back saying nothing is wrong with it and that will tell you that the other part is the problem

if both come back without any problems from the manufacturer, then further trobbleshooting will be required

Already swapped the motherboard, it was all brought from amazon and is still within 30 days so they won't even test before sending out the refund

 

Just tested the PSU, and it's working fine in my old build.

 

Either somehow the ram is fucking it up (It should show the debug led for ram in that case right?)

The CPU is dead

or the new and old motherboard were both dead

 

I'll be able to test with different ram on saturday, if that fails I think sending back the CPU is the next logical step

Fixed I think

• Used a different set of ram, it booted.
• Updated bios to F6 from F5, Corsair ram now working
• Random BSODs when freeing up memory
• Updated to alpha bios T7A
• Stable atleast for now
