HELP: MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi motherboard & 13600K, red CPU light and bootloop

[ninjadev64]

I've helped my friend build a PC recently, and the CPU EZ Debug light is red while it bootloops.

System configuration:

• 13600K

• PRO Z690-A WIFI

• Kingston Fury BEAST RGB DDR5-5200MHz

• New Corsair RM650x power supply

• No GPU yet

We have:

• Reseated the CPU and RAM

• Made sure EPS and ATX power are connected

• Jumped the clear CMOS pins

• Updated the BIOS using the Flash BIOS port

Note on the bios update. While the red light was flashing, the case fans spin and their RGB lights up, as well as the CPU light goes solid red, but no bootloop. The red light stops flashing after about 5 minutes, and the fans and debug light stop with it. Is this the expected behaviour?

My friend is going crazy please help

Hi, thanks for the reply. We're going to try with a different USB now but we don't have much hope

We're not in America, we don't have Micro Centres. We might just get a Celeron G6900 and update it with that.

We have just tried to update the BIOS with the RAM, SSD, and HDD unplugged. No luck
