Mai b550/3700X no post

[AMDMike]

Msi b550 and 3700X will not post, debug leds act as it is in a post loop, boot led flashes, then vram, then repeat. No display. Brand new kit of vengeance pro. So far I have tried:

 

one stick of ram (tried in each slot)

cleared cmos and replaced battery

two psus 

two gpus

reflash bios to latest

If you've already flashed the bios to the correct version and have redone the installation just to make sure everything is seated and plugged correctly and it still doesn't post, then you either have a compatibility issue ( which is common with those CPUs) or a hardware failure. You have to get spare parts( a different stick of RAM first) and see what works.

• The 3700X doesn't have integrated graphics, so you'll need to test with a discreet GPU
• One stick of RAM should only be tried in DIMM A2
  • No need to test in the other DIMMS
• You can try reseating the CPU
• Is this inside a case?
  • If it is, pull everything out of the case and try it sitting on a non-conductive surface like a cardboard box
• Try holding down the power button for a minute or so with the whole thing unplugged

I’ll go grab some different ram tomorrow and retest, hopefully that’s it 

 

I have it outside of the case, with nothing but the esssentials

Good luck! I'd be surprised if both sticks of RAM you have are bad, but

They are brand new, could it be an incompatibility?

It's possible. Would need the exact RAM and motherboard model to determine if it's on the QVL. But plenty of RAM will run that's not on the QVL.
