AM5 no boot :( - EDIT: gave up.

[kojeek]

I get the aforementioned beep code on startup.  To me it sounds like 1 long and 3 short.  I find various resources stating it means either NO VGA, or Bad Ram.
EDIT: Confirmed by gigabyte support as no VGA beep code.

I qflashed the bios to the latest verison, seems to have completed successfully.

The ram is on the MOBO's compatibility list.  I tried one stick, both slots, no joy.   tried with no video card and onboard video, same result.

You have a AMI bios according to the manual, 1 long and 2 short is video card related.

 

 

edit : Nvm, just saw you wrote you did do this already.

It could be possible the motherboard shipped with the old F1 bios.

That CPU requires F2 bios for compatibility. 

Follow a Q-Flash Plus guide on how to update the BIOS without booting.

You will need to use the usb port labelled "e" on the following picture.

Ryzen 7000 series have iGPUs in them now, so to rule out GPU, remove the GPU from the system and boot up with your monitor plugged into the Motherboard to see if it Posts. Do note that sometimes it can take 3-5 minutes for Memory training with AM5 systems.

On gigabyte, 1 long and 2 short is bad ram / incorrectly seated ram.

I know its seated correctly.  my only guess is that its 6000 speed ram and the 7600x only supports 5200, but technically i think the ram is 4800 that can OC to 6000 with xmp.  and since i havent gotten to bios to set xmp then i dont think its that.

its possible both sticks are bad but that seems unlikely.

yea, did that over the weekend, just got the gpu today and was hoping that it would solve the issue but nope.

do you think that video is 2 or 3 short beeps?

Would be helpful if you include all the troubleshooting you have done then so we don't rehash what you have tried. 

 

Edit: NVM, reread and see its listed there, I missed it like @TetraSky missed information too. 

 

Suggest then removing the CPU and checking the pins in the socket to ensure nothing is bent or damaged.

I did state in the original post  "tried with no video card and onboard video, same result."

The 7600x does support 6000Mts rams but it is true that AM5 also has a lot of compatibility issues still and stuff like this happens. Also you're right that your rams don't just go to their designated 6000MTs EXPO or XMP without you enabaling it first. But this still doesn't mean that you're not having a ram compatibility issue here.

 

I know you'ver tried without the graphics card, but just to be sure, take it out of the PC entirely during the whole time you do your testings. Better yet, you should always just hook up your Motherboard to the only needed parts outside of the chassis to test and see if you get a boot before assembling the PC inside the chassis.

 

This might be a shot in the dark, but can you double check to see if your CPU fan connected to the correct header?

 

Here is what I would do. I would take everything outside the chassis to make it easier and only connected the essentials to do my testings, reseat the CPU and the CPU cooler to make sure it's installed correctly. Clear CMOS and try only with one stick of RAM at a time. And then beyond that, you will need some spare parts to test out. I would go in this order, RAMs, Motherboard, PSU, CPU. I would simply start by testing someone else's RAM stick in this PC or one of these sticks in someone elses. If you can't do any of these, then I would just call up the place I bought the motherboard from and say that it's not working ask for help.

i ordered some slower ram to test with, but thats a few days out.  i could scrounge a power supply,   no other am5 cpus.   fan header is in the right spot with a splitter, maybe ill try not splitting it.    Already have a thread going with gigabyte, but at one reply a day, its moving rather slow.

I don't think buying stuff before you're certain is a good idea. There is a chance it will work with the new RAMs but I would always make sure to identify the issue before making new purchase. Also the people emailing you are going to be just as clueless as anyone else  trying to help you without access to your hardware. What I meant was calling up the store you bought it from, not Gigabyte. The store that sold it to you will help you a lot more to troubleshoot than Gigabyte could over emails.

IDK if B&H photovideo is gonna offer a lot of trouble shooting, and sadly, i bought the mobo in september so my return window is gone.   So crazy, ive never had a PC not post for me in 15 years of building.

I actually edited my post before you replied, you have an AMI BIOS. Which means 1 long and 2 short is GPU related, not RAM.

Gotta love non standard POST codes... Each bios makers are different.

[kojeek]

Well its not the motherboard, i got a different board and got the same no vga error.   Its not the CPU, i got a different one of those and got the same error, different ram same error.  the only constant at this point is the PSU, so thats on its way,  jeezus what a PF.

[sabgog]

Are those the Lian Li power cables or custom? Did you check pinouts if custom?

Included cables.

[kojeek]

i give up.  I have 2 mobo's, 2 cpus, 2 sets of ram and 2 psu's and get the same error across all of them.   no matter the combination.  returning everything i can. im currently stuck with a cpu and mobo as I'm outside the return window.  off to r/hardware swap.

 

ill go back to am4 platform, what a nightmare.
