*New* Ryzen system not posting

[10355723a]

First off, I am somewhat competent with computers and have done just about everything possible to fix my problem.

 

 

I have in front of me a system with a ryzen 5 3600, an msi x570 gaming plus motherboard, 120gb a400 Kingston ssd, 4TB wd blue 5400rpm hdd, Nvidia rtx2060 super, a seasonic m12ii evo 620 80+ bronze full modular psu, and a 16gb evo spear kit of ddr4 ram made by geil (8gb + 8gb) lastly, if it important, it is all in a thermaltake v32 chassis. 

 

 

The problem : This system refuses to boot. Ever. *one caveat* 

 

About a month ago I finally got all of my parts together. I went through 2 different b450 boards before I finally caved and bought my current one. At this point however it is just getting ridiculous. Every single cable is installed correctly, it's an atx board so all 9 standoffs needed are in place, the 24 pin is secure, and so on and so forth. I have checked every forum and have spent hours on reddit and all of the other major forums. 

 

 

Attempted fixes : Swapped power and reset switch - no dice. Manually shorted power_sw leads - no dice. Checked psu to make sure it works, it powers up when shorting pin 16 and 5 (16 being power on, 5 being ground.) Slammed my head into the wall - didnt help. Reset CMOS- no dice.  Re-seated cpu- nothing. Had a major headache - wrote this post.

 

Help me please? Internet cookie if you do. Whatever you even possibly think it might be please please post. I am getting really rather annoyed.

Need more input, is there any lights on the motherboard? Any fan spin when you press the power button? Is it totally dead?

 

I notice you didn't mention the 8 pin CPU power cable, is that plugged in?

Motherboard lights light up, and fans spin but only when manually jumping pins using a paperclip. The 8 pin is plugged in as well.

Go ahead and unplug everything non essential. All you want is board, CPU and one stick of RAM connected to the PSU. Disconnect all PCIe cards, SATA drives, M.2 drives and anything else.

 

Does it power up then?

Nothing last time, but I will try it again.

[10355723a]

Still nothing.

Maybe a faulty front panel connector for the on/off switch ?

First tried switching power and rest switch then manually shorted the two pins on the mobo. A grand total of nothing happened.

Even if it starts, it doesn't mean it's good. Check the voltage if you have  multimeter .

 

Does the  motherboard have debug LED?  What they show?

 

EDIT: I looked at the picture of MB. Did you connect  all  CPU power cables? 8 and 4?

Yo don’t need both 8 and 4 pin for something like an 3600.

 

agrreed tho that it still could be the PSU’s fault here
