So I just build a new computer and it wouldn't post. Got it out of the case onto the motherboard box and tried again. Worked like a charm. Installed Windows and the latest drivers. Installed it back in the case. CPU error LED again...

Manual descreption meaning error LED: indicated CPU is not detected or fail.

 

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

Mobo: MSI B350M Gaming Pro

RAM: Crucial Ballistix sport LT BLS2K4G4S240FSD

GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580

SSD: Crucial m.2 500GB

PSU: Antec 520 Watt 80plus Bronze

 

The case I mounted it in is the Fractal Design Focus G (Blue)

 

Any suggetions are more then welcome. Even your wildest guesses because I have no flipping idea how this is possible...

Make sure all power cables are connected. I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago with my new build. Everything was connected to the motherboard but turns out the CPU cable was removed from the PSU when folding in the leftover SATA cables.

Something might be shorting the motherboard, make sure you don’t have any extra motherboard case standoffs or anything else touching the back of the motherboard. And obviously double check all power cables are all the way plugged in.
