New PC Build not Booting - need assistance

MiloHSG · June 6, 2020

MSi Tomahawk Max

Ryzen 3600x

AMD stock CPU cooler

RTX 2060

16 GB Corsair vengeance 3600mhz

So, connected everything as normal. I'm not a complete novice this is my 3rd build.

Went to power on for first time. Fans spun for a second then nothing. Took out board and put back on its box. Disconnected the GPU and storage. Same thing happened. Reseated the CPU and cooler (no bent pins). Same. Tried PSU on my old board and it powered up fine. Moved RAM around. Same result.

So I'm certain it's not a short as it behaves this way on the box. PSU powered my old board up fine. I'm really at my wit's end now. Any help much appreciated.

Says it's ready for 3rd gen Ryzen on the motherboard box.

Are you able to try old ram? or ensure your ram works on your old board first? then try 1 stick in different slots?

If not I would consider a dead board and consider RMAing

I'm afraid not, my old system was DDR3.
