White LED glowing on the motherboard(X370-F Asus) and the monitor(Odyssey G5) doesn't turn on?

[minato]

Hello everyone!

I'm having this issue for the past two days and I just can't figure it out.

 

When I turn the PSU off and then on the green LED is on

and it directs me to the boot menu.

From the BIOS when I press the Windows Boot Manager it

boots normally.

 

 

So here's where the problem starts. When I restart the PC the white LED starts to glow (after DRAM and CPU) permanently:

and there isn't anything on the monitor as well and the Display Port is greyed out as if it isn't connected at all.

 

 

Recently I've done two things in the past month:

1. Eleven days ago I updated the BIOS because I wanted to add two more sticks of RAM(2x8GB) and hoped the update would make it stable on 3200 MHZ(D.O.C.P).

2. Added the two sticks of RAM into the system.

 

I tired pretty much everything I could from  README: How to respond to a no POST or no power up situation and it still doesn't boot when I restart my PC. 

I have no idea why the monitor doesn't turn on and why the DisplayPort is greyed out when the white LED is on, as if the monitor is not feeling it these past few days..

 

Here's the system as well: 

 

Every answer will be much appreciated!!!

First of I would start on the initial symptoms. When it's turn on normally and has error on boot. It basically means it can't find boot device or the boot device is faulty. On your first screenshot, it even showed that only the seagate hard drive is detected. Your wd BLACK sn850 isn't detected and you got an raid related error. So start from there. You also mentioned that you updated the bios. So If it was me, I would check the following settings in the bios, raid settings, first boot settings, and fast boot settings(forgot the actual term). Make sure it's disabled. If nothing seems out of the ordinary, I would reset bios settings to default or clear cmos. Highly likely, but I would also check the health of the ssd.

1800X is going to have a VERY difficult time running DDR4-3200.

Now, EVEN harder with 4x sticks compared to 2x sticks.

Zen / Zen+ (i.e. Ryzen 1000 and 2000 series) had a weak Integrated Memory Controller (IMC).

You may need to drop it down to DDR4-2933...or possibly as low as DDR4-2666.

 

The white "Boot" LED, where it's not properly detecting a boot drive it a bit concerning.

the "white" that looks more green to me, will stay on until windows or any OS have successfully booted. 

 

if you crash your system 3 times.. it should start into recovery mode, check if you can boot into safemode.

Thank you very much for the great response!

I've tried to remove the SSD and put it back in but since the screw has been completely stripped I can't remove it at all now like it's permanently one with the motherboard..

It was actually running it stable at 3200 when I had only 16GB and after the two extra sticks it worked just fine as well, but the not booting issue is really mind boggling to say the least

The last image of the LED is definitely white, I can't get into BIOS anymore at all since od today so I'll have to search up what to do now, but thank you for the information!

i would try to boot without any disks connected. 

and when you finaly get into bios.. turn off raid if your not going to use it. 

 

and take out the two sticks you added..
