Troubleshooting PC: CPU Light

SureSquire · January 23

Specs:

Ryzen 5 9600x

Coolermaster Hyper212

ASRock B850 Pro RS

Intel ARC B580 (ASRock Steel Legend)

T-Force Vulcan DDR5 2x16GB 6000MTs CL38 RAM

Corsair 750x Shift

Patriot P400 1TB NVMe SSD

First startup everyday has the CPU and DRAM lights on and refuses to boot. After turning it off and on again, the fans ramp harder and the PC boots. It works fine after the first boot every day. Tried resetting CMOS, updated to newest BIOS. I don't have both CPU power connectors in as the motherboard comes with two slots, only the primary in. CPU is not overclocked and PBO is disabled. Any help is appreciated because I've never encountered a weird issue like this before.

Try re-seating your CPU and RAM, it looks like you just have a bad connection.
Also check for damage in the CPU socket.

I would give the above a go and also check your bios battery and Jumper. If the battery dead or on its way this can cause all sorts of fun and games there penys so no big deal to check and change and the jumper postilion in case its set to clear and the first boot is it sorting it self out after a clear. Only seen tis once but it left its mark on my soul.................. (8 dam hours of head scratching)
