Have you updated the BIOS?

Is that a new build or an existing computer that developed an issue ?

probably unlikely but check whether the CMOS battery is dead or not. had the same issue and after disassembling, thoroughly cleaning and reassembling everything it was just a dead CMOS battery

Not sure, but on most motherboards I worked with I think the 00 means ok to go.

yep tried that, no avail - although i would say it could be helpful to others as ive looked online to find a variety of "off the wall" fixes.... most of which result in replacing the motherboard

ALERT ALERT YA'LL I FOUND THE SOLUTION!

 

I WAS USING A 45 degree adapter and after all the troubleshooting and, well, fen-aggling, turns out i jacked up the 24 pin on my motherboard!

yeah not really something to be happy\excited about but, its an answer!  I just replaced it with a 5950 yesterday (i couldnt get a 5800x3d so, meh) and was surprised when it didnt fire to life!  ironically on a whim i had struck up convo with an uber driver an hes like, well.............

so i pulled out that pretty part from amazon and sure as it would be, f*ing copper pulled off!  little wiggling, boop she tries!!!!

 

now its just a matter of getting all the crud off and operational again!  omg omg omg so excited to get my rig going!  thanks ppls!  ill rate somebody awesome!
