Hi.

Im running a 3700x with an msi b450m gaming plus. 

Msi has these leds on the mobo that light up when something gles wrong. The cpu led lights up and it wont boot. This pc has been running fine yesterday. It randomly does this once a week for the last two to three weeks. I remove and insert the cpu in the socket. This time that didnt help either. I dont know what do now. 

 

Does anyone have a clue?

Some MSI motherboards have a bad habit of letting up the CPU LED error light when actually the ram is at fault. What happens when you run with XMP off for a while?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That indicates its not actually the CPU. Try taking out all but one stick of ram in slot 0.

Ok so likely not the ram.

Disconnect all non-critical things including USB devices. See if it boots at all.

If not, move the GPU to another slot. If you have a spare gfx card, useit instead if moving old gpu to different slot doesn't work..

 

Edit: if above doesn't work then try that 2600x.

Could it be a loose cable from the psu side?

2600x booted. But now the vga led turns on. Usually turns off after few reboots. So i guess 3700x has issues. But msi command center runs the 3700x as 4.25ghz stock. Could that be the reason? If so how do i reset the clocks without booting up cause i cant boot with 3700x :D

 

 

edit. Vga turned on cause theres no gpu installed i think. Lemme get that gpu in

since it works perfectly with 2600x...i'm thinking that you did not update the bios  for ryzen 3000s...
