Ryzen build no longer boots

[tommy6278]

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: EVGA 1060 6GB

MB: MSI b350 Mortar Arctic

PSU: Corsar CX550M

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 2x8GB

 

I built this computer last spring and served me well for most of the year.  I was out of town one weekend, and came back to a PC that would not boot.  I didn't have many extra components, or friends with PC's to test for broken component.  Based off of what I know, I believed it to be a motherboard error, so I RMA'd the board.  I got it back last week, and my PC will still not boot.  When powering on my system fans and leds turn on, but no post.  The board has easy debug leds.  On power up, the cpu and dram leds turn on, then off.  Then the VGA light turns on, then off. The boot then turns on stays on.  I have tried my GPU in another system and had it work.  Another GPU in my system still will not post (I have tried in both slots).  I have tried using one stick of ram in all 4 slots with both of my sticks.  I have reseated my cpu, cooler and a power connectors.  

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem may be, or any other steps to be taken.  I may try to RMA the cpu next week

Make sure the PSU works. I've had multiple PSUs die on me overnight(although those were crap OEM models, but I was getting very similar results to what you're getting now).

did you try re-seating the ram or taking out 1 stick, and try just 1, and then if it doesnt work, stick the other in and take the first one out?

How would you go about checking the PSU?

Trying it in another system is the best way, and is the most likely to give you accurate results. If you've got a PSU tester, those help too. I figured it was a PSU problem by trying a different PSU and got my build to post.

 

Also worth noting that it's not too likely your PSU took other components with it, it's just unable to supply enough power to actually get the BIOS turned on.

I wouldn't recommend this if you fear PSU-related death. Even if none of your existing components are dead, PSU's are fickle things.

I've never had components die just by the PSU not being able to supply enough power which is what I think is happening here.
