so I just got all my parts for my pc build and I couldn't get my pc to post. I haven't built in a while but I tried all the old stuff I used to do. I took only the cpu and motherboard with the cooler and tried to see if it would post and nothing came up then I tried a stick of ram and then a graphics card still no post the only thing I have is a white led for the cpu and that's it. All the parts are new and were hard to come by so idk what is wrong with them or if I did something wrong. Also is there a way to get post codes on this motherboard because if so I have no idea how. Anybody got any ideas?

 

Motherboard: MSI z490i unify

CPU: Intel 10850k

Ram: Trident z neo 32gb 3600mhz ddr4

PSU: Corsair SF750

GPU: RTX 2080 super ftw3

Cooler: Kraken x53

The white LED for the CPU is an indication that there is an issue there. First things to check is if your EPS cable is connected properly to the motherboard and to the power supply. If it is connected, then either the processor is dead or the board. Start with reseating the CPU. If that doesn't help see if you can get another processor to test with. If the other processor is also not recognized, then it is a board issue. It is also a good idea to take out the CPU and check if you have any bent pins on the board, as that might cause a working processor not to be recognized.

well I don't have any way to get any other pc part any time soon so most of that is out of the question but everything looks completely fine, the cpu looks good pins on the motherboard look good so I guess I'll have to go like 2 hours on he weekend to Hiroshima to go find a cpu if the stores are even open still.
