Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) I'm building my first computer and it won't post to my screen: MSI b450m Pro vdh max Ryzen 5600g Evga 500W 2x4Gb crucial 2666MHz When I press the power button the three fans spin up and the cpu ezdebug light immediately comes on, staying on until I power off the system with the switch, which causes all 4 debug lights to flash and then go off. I have tried reseting the cpu twice and checked for bent pins or obstructions, I have tried removing the ram and also putting just one in in both dimma1 and dimma2. I have also tried replugging the cpu power and the 24 pin as well as unplugging the reset button in case it was shorting. I tried clearing the cmos a couple of times by shorting jbat1 and unplugging my pcie WiFi card and sata ssd. None of this made any difference to the ez debug light or it posting and the weirdest thing is that the dram debug light didn't come on even when there were no ram sticks in the system, still just the cpu light. EDIT: The motherboard box says that it is ryzen 5000 ready and the 5600g is in the compatibility list in msi's website Edited August 20, 2021 by TheBigCheese42 Adding more information which I forgot to put in initially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 20, 2021 Does that motherboard support that newish cpu out of the box ? Maybe a bios update ? Also 8GB is small, I'm not sure about AMD igpu's but it probably needs some Ram to function. You need 16GB, forget 4GB I'm willing to swim against the current.

Posted August 20, 2021 Author Whoops I forgot to mention that the box says ryzen 5000 series ready so I assume it should have an updated bios, if it does need a bios update I'm not sure how to do that without a post?

Posted August 20, 2021 If it's a bios problem, I doubt you can solve it without another cpu + gpu (or igpu) My motherboard can update bios without posting but not yours Do you have the Bios version on the box ? I'm willing to swim against the current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 25, 2021 Author Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I contacted msi and they confirmed that this one had shipped with B.A while it needed B.B so I returned that motherboard to amazon and ordered the mortar max for £5 more which then allowed me to use bios flashback and it's now working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 7, 2022 What bios number you used? I have two 5600g with b450m mortar max and cant get them post with bios update. Red cpu led lights up and fans spin at full speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
