Replaced nearly everything and still no POST?? Please help

[eri.i]

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

Mobo: Asus Prime b450-a/csm (on box it says Ryzen 3000 ready)

GPU: Rtx 2060 KOULTRA

Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16gb 2400mhz 
PSU: Thermaltake 500w bronze rated (forgot specifics)

 

Problem: Whenever I would try to boot up my computer there wouldn’t be a post at all, ive tried resetting cmos, using bare minimums, switching ram slots, using a different cpu (AMD Athlon 3000g), I tried everything I could possibly find online. I’ve replaced all of my old parts and the problem still occurs. Please help im in desperate need.

How long are you waiting? installing new parts will take a while for the system to do anything on the first boot

 

Make sure your display is plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard

 

Are fans spinning? any lights?

[eri.i]

I also tried to boot on the other mobo (it had debug leds) with any of the cpus the CPU debug led was lit up but the both the cpus were brand new, did I get really unlucky and both cpus were dead or is it a PSU issue?

Monitor is working (tried on a laptop)

Yes, fans are spinning (Case fans, cpu cooler fans and gpu fans)

i’ve waited over 20 minutes and still no signal.

was the monitor plugged into the GPU?

 

tested both CPU

tested RAMs individually in each slot

tested 2 motherboards

 

could also try testing the APU without a gpu, see if it posts with mothrboard video out

Yes, i’ve tried through both gpu and mobo hdmi slots and tried without a gpu

Boot with APU:

Plugged in 24 pin

Plugged in 1 stick of ram

Plugged in CPU 8 pin

HDMI into motherboard

 

Nothing else is plugged in, see if it posts

do you have a speaker you can plug into the header? (where the power switch plugs into?   You can also try booting by shorting the power switch, leave everything else unplugged

what was the color of the led?

I dont have speakers but i’ve tried booting by shorting out the power switch and the led was red for “CPU”

[TylerDurden!]

check your MB and CPU wires again,  Are the wires fully seated in the connector?  Do you have another PSU

All wires are in all the way correctly, i do have another psu but its a really old one and the cpu power cable on it is a 4 pin instead if an 8pin

should still work fine.  try it

Red CPU LED means it's not registering the CPU. The odds that you got two bad CPUs is infinitesimally small. If you happen to have a 2000 series CPU, try that, or take it to a computer shop or retail store with a support center (Micro Center, Best Buy, etc) and see if they can flash the latest BIOS for you with an older chip installed. I know you said the box says Ryzen 3000 ready, but it's sure acting like it's missing the BIOS update.

I’ll see if i can go to a repair store tomorrow, any idea on how much it would cost?

It seems like the psu isnt the problem. Maybe the bios isnt updated for the new board? But it wouldnt make sense that an Athlon 3000g doesnt work or am i missing something?

Sorry, no, but I can't imagine it would be horrible. Shouldn't be but an hour max of labor. When you go in, though, just get a quote before they do the work.

Hmm... Literally out of idea

The chances of everything not working is so small

Hopefully its affordable because this pc repair store near me charges $100 for a bios update which is insane

Geez, that's a rip off

I don't know what's wrong, but I don't think everything is broken at once, it's just so unlikely

im 99% sure the 2060 isnt broken because i used it before.

 

*FULL STORY*
after my 2400g ripped off the socket and i got the cpu off the cooler the pins were bent and i bent them back after that i got this problem and decided for an upgrade, problem still persisted then got a 3000g to update bios, 3000g didnt work so i assumed my socket was broken and so i bought a new mobo. Now im stuck at either the psu is messed up or i got unlucky and the bios wasnt installed onto the motherboards but like i said earlier the 3000g for some reason doesnt work.

i've seen someone pull the cpu out, jamming it back into the socket without unlocking the socket

and the board still works... he might just be lucky though

 

something is wrong with your system

I just finished testing another psu and still nothing. eeeee this is really getting to me
