  • Hi I just received my mother board ( I don’t have a cpu and ram yet) and it does absolutely nothing. It doesn’t even try to do anything. I’ve reseated everything but the board itself but it does nothing.

I know but I’ve read over and over that you can at least get a failed post but something out of the board. I know it needs a cpu and ram but I just want to make sure it works before I invest into a 400 dollar cpu.

So you have your PSU 24-pin connected + power button (or you shorted the pins) ? And nothing happens? No LED's?  And what motherboard do you have?

No, you are. A mobo doesn't do anything without a CPU and RAM. Some with a built-in POST code display may show something, but yours isn't one.

Makes no sense... Even if the board doesn't work you'll still need the CPU for the replacement board you'll get once you RMA it.

I am usually not rude in life, but I do have that capability, and this just lit that fuse...

You Idiot... the MB has no GPU capability... how the heck are you gonna see anything on a screen?

Stop wasting everyone's time, this is a serious forum with genuine problems and awesome people trying to help out "REAL" issues...

I think you will get better help on Reddit...

Sorry I’m not normally rude either I’m just frustrated. But you can test certain boards because how would the usb bios Flashback work? It’s made not to have to have a cpu and ram

Ok look, the MB has post error LEDs so those should light up. + X570 Gaming X has the Q+-flash function, which means you can update the bios without a CPU, RAM and GPU.

I mean if you ignore everything here sure you can say it's stupid. But y ou should first read the whole thing and read the manua.

Yes it does. Read up.

Are you dense?? Read the whole thing before you deal me stupid 

Now if nothing really happens and you have everything power in your PSU (switch to I) etc. Test the Q+-flash function, read the instruction from your manual, the Q+-flash should have a blinking light. If nothing happens then it might be dead. You can ofc wait and see if it magically needs a CPU and RAM to work.

 

TLDR: MB should get power without CPU RAM or GPU. Blink it's error leds or show error codes.

That is legitimately funny. But the mobo would at least display a no cpu light. Which it won’t for whatever reason I’m gonna update the bios.
