New build - NO POST

ReaperOfNothing · December 6, 2020

Hi! While I do acknowledge that there is "no post on sundays" (thanks Uncle Vernon) I am nevertheless trying to make my new build post.

SPECS:

ASUS x570 f-gaming
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 3600MHz 2x16GB
Corsair RM 750X V2
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB
Phanteks Enthoo 719
WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 1TB
WD Blue 3D SATA SSD 1TB

I am also transplanting a GTX 1070 from my old build.

The PC will power up - all lights and fans spin and glow, but there is NO DISPLAY SIGNAL. ALSO the DRAM light is LIT AF.

What I have tried so far:

Reseating the RAM sticks in every configuration. The preferred seating is A2 and B2, but I have tried both A1 and B1 aswell as only running one stick in A1, A2, B1 and B2. No change in behaviour.
Plugging in additional power to the CPU. At first I only had the 8pin connector connected, but I have now also connected the additional 4pin connector. No change in behaviour.
Changing GPUs and PCIe slots. I have tried both a GTX 970 and a 1070 aswell as both the top and middle PCIe lanes. The GPUs both work fine in my old PC. No change in behaviour.
Flashing a newer BIOS version. I have downloaded the latest (non beta) BIOS build from ASUS and flashed it using the FLASHBACK functionality on the motherboard. Flash seemed to be successfull. No change in behaviour.
Different screens and different HDMI/DVI/DP ports. I have tried pretty much every port on the back (even the ones straight from the MB even though there is no iGPU so that shouldnt work anyway). No change in behaviour.
Resetting the CMOS. I shorted the CLRTC pins for 5-10 seconds as per the manual. No change in behaviour.

I am also pretty sure that the RAM is certified as compatible with the MB/CPU. The product ID for the RAM is: F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC.

I am ripping my hair out and just straight up not having a great time. I loved building my previous PC in 2014, and this one is built to specially for CP2077 - I HOPE I can fix it in time!

I am super thankfull for every reply here - even if it might not fix it, please contribute! I ending this post with a quote that I think describe my mood right now:
