New Ryzen build, fans spin and lights up but no post

KitchenGoblin · Jun 9, 2017

Put together a new build today but it won't post, power is going into computer with fans and lights all working.

I went through the checklist recommended except for,

step 20: Is your CPU supported by the BIOS revision installed on your motherboard?

How do I check what bios I have if I don't have a post?

I also have not breadboarded the pc but have disconnected everything except for cpu, cpu fan and psu with no change. I also get no beeps with no ram installed from the speaker, which is installed.

Specs:

Ryzen 5 1400
Asus PRIME B350-PLUS
Kingston Hyper X Fury 2666mhz, 2x4GB
EVGA 1060 3GB
Coolermaster G550M PSU
WD Blue 1TB HDD
Sandisk 120GB SSD

Steps taken to troubleshoot:

1. Changed the ram around in different slots and tried without any (no beeps)
2. Disconnected everything except the wires from case, cpu, cpu cooler and psu
3. Checked all wires to see if correctly inserted
4. Cried

Edit: bios version is 1.05, Asus site says mobo is validated since version 0406.

Update: I breadboarded it.. same problem, although I noticed that the fan on the graphics card stops spinning after about 30 seconds.. So I assume I am right to suspect the psu? Also the case fan did not spin for the first time before I breadborded it. The RGB lights on my mobo were also pulsing slowly the last time I had it running and they stayed a solid red colour this time?? Should I just RMA? If so what?

I think your bios needs updating to work in that board.

It says its validated since version 0406.

I have gone through the steps except I haven't disconnected the case wires, but I have with everything else except cpu and cpu fan. I haven't breadborded it but I really don't want to as It took me ages to set up... I am 99.9% sure that everything is plugged in correctly, I went very slow and followed along with a tutorial video.

KitchenGoblin :

Im aware of this, but you say you have bios version 1.05, but there is no bios 1.05

superninja12 · Jun 9, 2017

your bios version is fine.

try this

cpu into motherboard
cpu cooler -> cable to cpu fan 1

insert the ram

insert the graphisc card

24pin canble to the motherboard
4/8 pin to the cpu
6or 8 pin to the gpu

powercable to the hdd/ssd
powercable from the hdd/ssd to the motherboard.

make sure your put the hdmi cablle into the graphics card to the monitor

make sure you are on the right channel on the monitor.

should work

Ryzen has a very long first boot time, it will actually power down and start up a few times before any post comes up.

KitchenGoblin · Jun 9, 2017

superninja12 :

Did all but same situation.. Could it be something that's DOA?

KitchenGoblin · Jun 9, 2017

James Mason :

It hasn't restarted at all, just runs with no picture on screen...

James Mason · Jun 9, 2017

KitchenGoblin :

How long did you wait?
And did you hook everything back up? You can't see anything without the gpu in there, and the monitor connected to the gpu and not the motherboard.

KitchenGoblin · Jun 9, 2017

James Mason :

It's been like 7 or 8 mins now. hdmi cable is in graphics card and connected to monitor. Monitor flashes between analog and hdmi pics and then goes into standby. Repeats when turned off and on again.

KitchenGoblin · Jun 10, 2017

Any ideas? I am left here with a pile of crap on my floor that doesn't work and I spent all my money on it... Pretty devastated please advise..

superninja12 · Jun 10, 2017

no worries were going to figure it out. stand by

edit:

- disconnect the ssd, and try to boot.
- ram compatibility might be an issue, I think this will work PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Did you check the cpu for bent pins? Get some fresh paste for when reseating the cooler.

KitchenGoblin · Jun 10, 2017

superninja12 :

Maybe the ram is not compatible, but should I not still be getting beep codes from my mobo telling me there is no ram installed? When I take it out and try and post without ram the mobo doesn't beep.

KitchenGoblin · Jun 10, 2017

Vic 40 :

Yeah I tried reseating the cpu, its definitely installed correctly. I guess I'll just have to assume one of the parts is DOA and bring it to a shop, so they can use spare parts to identify the problem. I don't know of any way I can isolate the faulty part myself free of charge...

Vic 40 · Jun 10, 2017

Not just reseating,really checking the pins under the cpu,if one is bent will that give problems. But if you have a shop nearby that can check with other parts is that also a good option.

What did you find out? I just put together a Ryzen Build with with a 5 1600, Asus Prime B350 plus MOBO, vengance 3000 mhz 8 GB RAM, and I can't get it to boot up at all. I tested the power supply to make sure it wasn't fault and I got it to work properly but as soon as I plugged the 24 pin connector in all I get is red LED lights on the mother board but no power to the fans. I've removed the RAM and done all that but o get no video

Are you plugging and unplugging while there is power flowing to it? That's how you kill a computer.

Nope just plugged in the PSU and it wouldn't power up. I was able to get a replacement motherboard ordered so I'll see how it goes it may have just been a lemon

g-unit1111 · Jul 18, 2017

Jonathan_194 :

Sounds like you got a bad PSU. And with that unit, it's entirely possible that is the case. I'd check that before replacing the motherboard.

It's not the topic starter you respond to so it's not the Cooler master GM in his system. Have no clue what he uses btw since he hasn't told yet.

New Ryzen build, fans spin and lights up but no post
