Can't seem to figure out why this PC won't boot properly

[LelouchviZero]

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to see if anyone has some advice on what I could do about this issue with an AsRock Motherboard that my brother has, I moved all of his parts to this new motherboard and it receives power and even turns on(Fans spin to life lights turn on HDDs start spinning), yet it doesn't post. The Motherboard in question is the X570 Taichi. The only new parts to this system are two new storage devices (a 2TB WD blue & A 1TB Samsung 850 Evo), new RAM (Corsair Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2x4GB) and the X570 Taichi motherboard itself, Although I feel like I should mention that the EPS connector on the motherboard itself has an extra 4 pin connector along with the normal 8 pin that is plugged in that I could not plug in with his current PSU that he has. The Dr. Debug Code it gives out after every boot attempt is 04 but everything I've found in relation to this code is a Memory or CPU issue yet everything is installed just fine, I even reinstalled the CPU and RAM and tried with the old set of RAM (Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB) and even moved slots, used one or the other stick by itself and got the same code. I am a bit of a loss even after looking through the manual and online for similar issues to mine.

 

The current set of parts are as follows

CPU Ryzen 1600x

RAM 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro

Motherboard x570 Taichi

GPU Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1080

SSD 240gb PNY CS900

SSD Kingston 256

SSD 1TB Samsung Evo

HDD 2 TB WD Blue

HDD 1 TB WD Blue

PSU Corsair RM650X

 

Any and all advice that could help is welcome, thank you for your time.

Board doesn’t support 1st gen ryzen chips. I’ve made this mistake before too.

I don't think x570 supports ryzen 1st gen.

Thank you both for your responses! I'll let him know that he'll need to buy a new CPU, although he might not enjoy the news too much haha. Thanks again for the quick responses!

Some first gen Zen+ CPUs are on the support list, but the 1600x is not.

Why a new cpu? Why not just a different motherboard? Would cost him much less.

He's been wanting to slowly get newer parts over time, so he'll most likely want to buy a new CPU. Otherwise he'll most likely just get a different motherboard, some of these new parts were from Christmas and barely got around to having me move his components for him. I am rather unfamiliar with AMD CPU and Motherboards as I mostly stick with Intel when it comes to the CPU platform. Which would explain my lack of knowledge before doing all of the part moving, That's on me since I assumed that AM4 just worked with all AM4 CPUs. I suppose I'll find out when I get to him later today.

I would recommend going with a less expensive motherboard and upgrading to 16 gigs of Ram, the 1600x is still a very capable cpu. If it’s possible to return the mobo do it, or just get a cheaper am4 board that supports 1st gen. Don’t worry about it either, I’ve made this mistake too thinking that I could just buy any am4 board and it would support the chip without looking at the compatibility list, ended up returning the mobo for a supported one.

Nope, AF models are Zen+.

Where's the GPU?

I always highly advise against going slowly in getting new parts. ALWAYS do it in at least together chunks. Then you don't end up buying the parts more expensive when by the time you actually replace like the cpu the board might be 100$ cheaper and so on.

 

That and the x570 taichi is beyond expensive and none of the features are usually needed

I fixed it, but it's a Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1080

Well, it was mostly his decision on what he wanted to do since he makes money slowly. I'll have to see if he wants too, I think he might be able to return the motherboard. It's only been about 3 weeks since he bought it off Newegg so I think he's still in the window of return for it.

For sure do because for that board he can get a cheaper one and be 3/4ths of the way to a MUCH better cpu.

 

Also making money slowly just means you gotta hold onto it for longer. Thats always the best you can do.
