So I just built.my new system, with a B550 Tomahawk and 5600X, first it booted up fine, but while installing something, gave me a blu screen of death, so I restarted and ever since it wont boot up, and the VGA led is red. I have a 2070 Super, but it worked fine just yesterday, even today. Could it be that the motherboard ia faulty?

I do get picture when booted, but its just a white line.

Edit: Other PCI-E slot doesnt help either.

Edit: Somehow I got into the BIOS, restarted and now it booted to windows. What the f... i dont even dare to touch it.

Are you using a M.2 NVME SSD? The VGA light on MSI boards seems to indicate both GPU's AND SSD's (makes sense when you consider they both use PCI-E lanes assuming the SSD isnt SATA)

I had a near identical issue with a friends PC a few times, and the SSD was the fault, NOT the GPU.

I'm not, but hence the edit, It did actuall, boot up after I got into the BIOS somehow, I have no idea what happened tbh. Installing Windows right now.

If it continues to happen, it's likely an SSD issue. What drive are you using?

All my.SSDs are Sata drives, so I dont see how they could be causing it. It just did it again after a restart,beford I was using it for like an hour, having installed Windows 10. Should I just pray that it boots again?

Okay,.so it is probably my ssd. Had a somewhat old Intel ssd as my boot drive, and after disconnecting it I can go straight to bios everytime. Weird
