Help with new build

[bdub109]

This is my first build since my last rig which was an i7-8700k and 1080ti. Been a while and feeling old lol. Anyways new build is ryzen 7 7800x3d, msi x670 tamahawk, g skill trident z5 neo ddr5 32gb(2 kits) 7900xtx gpu, LIAN li 360 aio, 1000 watt psi. All parts are brand new from new egg. I have flashed the bios to the newest version, have tried different ram combinations, 4, 2, and 1 stick. Have tried reseating ram and cpu. The red cpu light and yellow ram light stay lit and get no boot at all, nothing. Any recommendations? Possibly just a bad cpu or mobo? Really appreciate any help.IMG_7852.heicIMG_7853.heic

Although DDR5 is famous for long memory training (~5-10 minutes), you usually should only see the RAM light on. Both CPU and RAM light on is defiantly not normal.

 

Ideally you want to see if you can get another motherboard to try see if you can isolate the problem....

 

But you can try these:

Check the socket and see if there are any bent pins.

Flash the latest BIOS onto the board use the BIOS flashback function.

It’s also a good idea to clear the CMOS after you update the bios.

Update, finally got a boot with a single stick of ram. Finally was able to get a boot with two sticks afterwards. What is odd is that the only way I can get a boot is on a stick from each kit I bought, I can’t get 4 sticks to work at all. Dosnt make much sense to me. Looks wise and wanting to have 64gb I wanted to be able to use 4 sticks total. Looks like that may not be an option?

Are the ram kits on your mobo's QVL? I know Ryzen tends to be picky about what ram it works with.

Yes but thanks for having me look. Looks like 4 sticks are not supported at all, why did MSI include four slots on the board lol. Still don’t understand why one stick from each kit works but the other two won’t even with a single.

Can you please on how you got them to work. I'm using G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo (2*16) but mine is booting up with any one of the sticks.
