I have check on cables, all cables are in place, memory card slot in with clicks, gpu with clicks, im now worried.

 

 

when i do pre-test build. the motherboard flash orange light on cpu then switch to dram for 10 second then switched to vga, immediately auto restart. what am I doing wrong here?

[podkall]

does it keep restarting?

[frostymelts]

yes, it restart endlessly, i've left it for 20mins and it restart for 20mins

[Robchil]

remove the nvme m.2 disk and see if it still reboot

[frostymelts]

after I remove m.2, same lights flashed from cpu to dram to vga to no orange light, and all my fans stopped working, the rgb lights are still up as usual. this did not trigger endless restart.

 

after I put storage in bottom m.2 slots, the problem came back again. restart endlessly.

 

motherboard, gpu, ram rgb is on while problem persist

if you have a monitor connected you should get into bios... 

 

sounds like a DOA nvme.. do you have another drive.. m.2 or sata? you could install windows on to test? 

 

 

[frostymelts]

i tried sata samsung 850 evo ssd with windows installed. the problem still persist

 

I different m.2 slots, all gave the same results.

 

motherboard orange light on cpu, switched to dram, switched to vga and went out restarting

 

i removed the cooler to check my cpu, no damaged pins, its all good.

 

edit* I manage to install windows on the new ssd (confirmed not DOA)

7200mhz ram speed, it can take a good mainboard to get that speed, you might have to set the speed down to get it stabile.

i couldnt get the system to start booting, all black screen

 

the orange light switched to vga, made a click sound and restart, is this gpu problem?

you have a K cpu.. you can take out the GPU and plug your monitor into the mainboard ..

for some reason, this solution worked, i removed my gpu, let it power cycle for a while and it start booting, i tried to put back gpu and it works as well.
