award69129 · April 18, 2017

So new build so excited but when I get it put together my msi ez debug has a solid lit cpu light. check every connector pull them all out re plug them nothing. I try re-seat the cpu nothing so i rma it get my new one in and same thing. I checked everything i can think of new ram different slots gpu out nothing. I checked for bent pins because I figured I screwed it up but nothing I can see. I could really use some help i'm about to loose my mind.

The fans all power on, gpu on, motherboard lights up. I have tried pulling every connection and ram slot as well as resetting cmos. I dont see how I can have to bad cpus so it has to be something I have done wrong.

Did you make sure all the necessary CPU power connectors on the motherboard are plugged in? I missed one 4-pin connector on mine and it didn't do anything either.

If you need it, I can hop on Hangouts to help you troubleshoot. I have the manual open and I've been working the same chipset at work all last week.

EDIT!

Seeing in the manual that the solid light indicates either that the CPU is dead (not very likely) or having issues getting enough power (more likely). Check the motherboard power connector and the 8 pin connector in the upper right corner of the motherboard, close to the IO. It also might have an error from ram in the wrong slots; you'll want your two sticks in slots A2 and B2, not A1 and B1.
