White vga error light on Asus b450-f

[Letgomyleghoe]

Hi, I’ve been troubleshooting my pc for around an hour now, I overclocked my ram, tried to reboot and it started giving me a white bag error, I know this means a vga error but I assume it’s a dead motherboard, I’ve tried resetting my gpu, trying it in another slot, using an old gpu, using a different display, using a different cable, swapping out ram sticks, and clearing cmos.

 

i don’t know if you guys have any other ideas for troubleshootin, but I’m about to try and rma, I don’t have the box so I fear they won’t take it back. 
 

parts list:

r5 3600

Rog b450-f 

rx 5700 triple d, troubleshooting gpu xfx rx 580
corsair vengeance 16gb cl16 3200mhz, tried to overclock to 3400mhz.

 

i did update bios earlier today, but did run multiple benchmarks and stress tests.

I think I’m just gonna let it sit overnight unplugged and with the cmos battery out, if it doesn’t boot in the morning, try and see if I can rma.

Hello,

 

I am inclined to think it is a VGA problem.  You noted "using a different cable", was this a DP cable? If so did you use another DP or try HDMI?  Please try, if you have not already, a different connector style.

 

From here I will take some liberty to assume you started with a DP cable and tried with another DP.  Please update if HDMI works without issues.

 

 

Good luck,

Striker

 

Please excuse my restating of same directions in different ways.  I am just trying to be clear but sometimes just make things worse...

Already tried with both do and HDMI, and speaking that I tried two different GPUs in both slots, I’m thinking it is a motherboard issue.

Did turn out to be a motherboard issue, bought a B550 auros pro and it booted up fine thank god
