Hello TPU. Thank you for reading this post.
This is a complex scenario and I will try my best to simplify what is going on.
I built a new R5 Ryzen PC three days ago. Specs include a 1500x, GTX 1070, DDR4 G-skill ram with a gold rated EVGA PSU.
I would like to add that the CPU was packaged wrong and had three bent pins on the edges. I re-adjusted the pins appropriately and proceeded to complete the build. After completing the build my PC would turn on and off every ~15 seconds. Auto rebooting of the system occurred with a B350 ASROCK MOBO. I tested the new EVGA PSU on another system and the PSU had no issues at all. With my general knowledge of building PC's I had a feeling the mobo was the culprit. I RMA'D the mobo and purchased a new MOBO off amazon, MSI B350 PC Mate.
Today I installed the new MSI board. The system powered on and did not shut off at all. I installed all the competents in the case. All peripheral components (keyboard, mouse) light up and register, however, the output video did not register. I had a feeling the GPU was DOA so I installed it into a working system I use for general daily tasks. The GPU worked fine. I also reset the CMOS and changed the ram to different ram slots. Still no output video. So at this point I know the PSU, GPU, and MOBO are not the issue.
MSI MOBO has a LED Debug system on the MOBO. When I start the system, the only LED that stays on for ~5 seconds is the CPU. The GPU, DRAM, and HDD LEDS do not light up at all.
Therefore, based on the bent pins and no video output, including no beep of any kind and no posting, I believe the issue here is the CPU. When I turn off the system the only LED to light up on the debug LED system is CPU.
What is going on? I tested the GPU, PSU, HDD, SSD, wifi card, CD drive etc and it all works just fine.
These are all new parts.
