Posted March 30, 2017 Hey guys, I recently helped my roommate purchase the components for a new gaming PC. For the CPU we got a Ryzen 7 1700 and we paired it with the MSI B350M Gaming PRO. After getting it all put together it will not post, with the motherboard "ez debug" led saying there is a problem with the CPU. We took the CPU out and reseated it just to make sure it was in correctly and we double checked the CPU power cable were properly fitted. But still no post. Do you guys think we just got a bad CPU? RMA time? Thanks for the suggestions. Here are the full specs: ryzen 7 1700 MSI b350M Gaming Pro corsair vengeance 8GB ddr4 evga 600W PSU asus rx480 WD blue 1TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 30, 2017 It could be the board. it's very rare for a modern CPU to be DOA unless there is physical damage, mobos on the other hand are most likely to have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 31, 2017 99% sure the ram is hynix and that's why it won't work. You would be better off going with a 16gb kit.

I don't know why Ryzen spits out CPU errors when incompatible memory is installed, although that is what happened to mine when I tried upgrading the RAM to something it wasn't happy with.
