Posted July 13, 2020 my brother recently got a z390-a pro by msi as his last motherboard ram slots were faulty and didn't allow for dual channel memory, because of this he decided to get a new motherboard and i checked his ram in my system and his ram wasn't the problem at the time now comes the new motherboard, i set it up to see if it will post and instead it boots does two boot loops and then idles... the debug led lights light up on cpu for a bit then ram for a long time. so I reseated the ram, didn't work, used one ram slot, didn't work and then used my own ram from my system, didn't work. I can't think why my brother's pc won't boot even when I plugged in the CPU and 24Pin connectors in correctly. I've tried turning the psu off to clear CMOS but it's a new motheboard so it shouldn't matter If anyone has a clue why his pc won't boot would be greatly appreciated because I have no clue.

Did you plug the EPS 4/8-pin cable in? I frequently edit any posts you may quote; please check for anything I 'may' have added. Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case? WHY NOT...?!

Posted July 13, 2020 what are the full system specs? also, you have to remove the cmos battery, or short the cmos pins, to clear cmos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
