Ryzen system boot issues

[Chuck Kitchen]

Greetings,

 

I've recently encountered a problem with my desktop, which I built nearly eight months ago and it has worked perfectly since then, where I am able to power on the system but it won't boot. It appears to not be posting, as the CPU led light (that would indicate that something is wrong) goes on immediately, and there is no video output. Every light and fan is working. The specs of the system are as follows:

• Ryzen 5 1600x
• Noctua nh-u12s se-am4 
• EVGA GTX 1080
• Corsair vengeance lpx 16gb (2x8) at 3200 MHz 
• Gigabyte ga-ab350-gaming 3 
• EVGA 650w gold modular 
• 120gb SanDisk SSD
• 2tb Toshiba hdd 
• Windows 10

I am asking for help because I have not encountered any forum with a person having the same problem, where the computer was previously fine but stopped functioning properly even though nothing has changed. I don't believe that any component is broken. Here is a list of what I have tried so far:

• Clearing CMOS by connecting jumper pins and removing battery
• Checked cable connections
• Re-seated ram, using only one stick, and changing slots
• Tested power supply to reaffirm that it's functional

I have never updated or even touched the bios, nor have I ever overclocked anything. The only websites I have ever visited are moddb, and some Pearson homework websites (although I doubt those could cause anything like this). The only possible reasons I can think of are that I screwed up by shutting down the computer while windows was updating in sleep mode, or the CPU or Mobo is actually defective. I would hope that this wouldn't be the case after the system was working for the past 8 months.

 

I apologize for the lack of brevity, I'm trying to give as much information as possible. Thank you all for reading and any responses, I will be quick to answer all questions or try any suggestions.

The first ryzen chip to fail, woo Intel! Nothing you do in the os will stop it from posting so this is a deeper issue, not a virus or anything like that. Cpu like could be the boards vrm, could be the chip itself.... could even be the power supply tbh. Considering it's new and it's amd I would like to say it's the chip but it's probably the board. Did you check all your connectors? This light comes on if the cpu has no power as well

I've checked all the connectors multiple times. The CPU light is always on, which, based on what I can find on some forums, likely means that the cpu doesn't have power or the ram isn't compatible. I've tested with ram in different slots and no ram and there's no error response (no beeping for some reason), so it must be something deeper. I'm tempted to believe it's because the bios is an older version and doesn't support ryzen 5, but that hardly explains how I was able to use it for eight months before it decided to stop working

Flash the bios? Alot of boards don't beep anymore btw. If you have a usb flash method that is
