New RYZEN Rig won't boot... HELP

So building a new Ryzen 7 rig today and the most disappointing thing happened, no POST after completion! I'm using a b350 PC mate MSI motherboard, which has Ez debug LED's, and on boot the fans spin up and lights on the MOBO and GPU light up, but the computer doesn't post and has the CPU debug light a solid red. It hasn't boot up yet, and I've tried resetting the CMOS, re-seating the 8 Pin CPU header, and re-seating the CPU itself. Are there any other potential fixes other than replacing the CPU itself? Let me know if you need any more info.

Try giving it several minutes.  Numerous people (myself included) have had to wait up to 5-10 minutes the first time they powered-on their newly built Ryzen system.  I would advise you to download the latest bios version for your board and have it ready on a usb flash drive for when you are able to enter the bios.

I spent a couple hours debugging the system, and I plan to work on it a bit more in the morning, so I will definetly try, but I'm still wondering if I may be missing something here. This isn't my first rig but it's my first CPU failure so the stress is real :/

I have the same motherboard and that is a bit odd. What kind of RAM do you have? Ryzen has weird compatibility with certain ram kits, also make sure the 24 pin is securely plugged in.

The ram I have is this here http://amzn.to/2wsAucc , and I've wondered about 24 pins for awhile. I've never been able to fully push in the 24 pin without having the MOBO look like it's about to split in half. It can go further, but it would require a crazy amount of pressure.

Get that sucker all the way in, just to be sure

Clip has been secured. It's a bit late, and I'm going to work on it tomorrow, but thanks for the suggestion.

hold the back of the board and push it in

For the record it was already 90% of the way in, just with the clip out.

From pictures of the board, it appears to have locations for board stand-offs/screws basically on either side of the 24-pin connector.  I also had difficulty plugging my 24-pin into my ASRock board.  I just gently slid the tips of my fingers under the edge of the board (under the 24-pin connector) to make it a bit more sturdy and not bend.  The last thing you want to do is break it, of course.. but it should be seated firmly in place.

 

I still think just waiting several minutes after you press the power button may yield results.  You mentioned you've spent hours debugging.. so I'm sure you've tried booting with Ram in slots 2 & 4, or just one stick in slot 2?

  • Four channel memory architecture maximizes data rates

 

Ryzen only supports dual channel doesn't it..? Think that is your problem maybe?

His board will run them in dual channel, quad channel support is controlled by mobo/CPU, not RAM.

I'm only using 2 sticks, but the board was build specially for Ryzen, so I have a hard time believing they would overlook something like that.

Hey guys so I just wanted to leave you with a quick update. We are in BIOS! I'm a NEWB and didn't try different ram slots and was overall not very patient. Upon trying 1 dimm in the 2 slot and letting it boot for more than 2 seconds the CPU light would go off, then it would turn on with a GPU LED debug light, then BAM! We got post.Thanks a ton for all your help guys and I hope I can help you later on. I'll be back if we have an unexpected failure :/
