No Post: 64k Base Memory Error

[SnowGhost1212]

The specs are as follows:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

Mobo: MSI A320M-A PRO MAX

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200Mhz 2x8GB

PSU: Cooler Master Masterwatt 650W Bronze

 

 

I'm getting no post to screen. Monitor detects signal but black screen. System powers, LEDs light, CPU fan started, system fans started.

System speaker gives 3 beeps for "64k base memory error".

I've tested the Corsair RAM on second build and it works fine. Tested HyperX Fury DDR4 3200Mhz 2x8GB on the machine and same error appears.

Have reseated all components including CPU. Double checked all motherboard standoff screws are securely screwed and have tried loosening the CPU Cooler in case of motherboard flex.

Have been through everything on the Stickied README on No Post and through the same list on Tom's Hardware.

 

Looking for a guiding light and saviour.

Regards,

S

Only on-board graphics? Try live linux USB, if you still get nothing, motherboard might be faulty.

That board will need a BIOS update to work with that CPU.

 

Nevermind, its a Max board and supports Zen 2 out of the box.

After doing some Googling it seems like this issue is pretty common with MSI boards. Resetting the CMOS seems to resolve it.

What GPU are you using?  If you're using the motherboard's HDMI port it won't post because the 3600 doesn't have integrated graphics and will usually give a video memory error which is one long and two short beeps.

I can't believe I made this mistake. Graphics card is coming today.
