Today I went to power up a new system that won't start. I have the mobo and CPU in the description along with Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2133C13 RAM. I'm using a Evga GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU. All the parts are brand new from Newegg aside from the GPU which is brand new but not from Newegg. I have triple checked everything I can think of but the system won't even wake up the monitor on power up. The red CPU light on the mobo stays on indicating a CPU problem. The red CPU light comes on immediately when pressing the power button. It will sit there and run like that indefinitely. No post, no action whatsoever. I've checked all the CPU and mobo power cables. Reseated the CPU three times now. Checked all the pins on the chip and they look perfect. The socket looks fine and holds the chip tight. The RAM is in slot 1-2 and seated properly. GPU is in the top PCI x slot. When I got the system together I didn't realize the Ryzen 7 didn't support on board graphics. I was trying to just get the system going. I put the GPU in later today and still have the same results. Only thing I have not tried is starting the system out of the box. I did thoroughly check for shorts to the case. I called Gigabyte and they said return the mobo. I called AMD and they said it's probably the CPU which I do have another on the way and a RMA for the one I have. One time I had a similar problem with a mobo that didn't have bios support for a band new chip and went through nine levels of hell figuring that out. That situation I ended up reflashing the bios with a older but compatible chip installed.
I bought this system as a bundle from Newegg so I figure they wouldn't bundle incompatible parts.
I guess we will see. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate input since I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Daurie
