Problem summary: new rig, no POST display. Monitor never displays any output after powering on. Details below.
==Essential components==
Like the the title says, built a new rig and not getting any display. Here's a run down of the set-up:
- GA-AX370-Gaming K5 mobo
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Processor with Wraith Spire LED Cooler (YD1700BBAEBOX)
- Radeon Pro WX 5100 GPU
- Corsair LPX 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz C16 DDR4 DRAM Memory Kit, Black (CMK32GX4M2B3200C16)
- 1000W PSU from Corsair
Put everything together fully, CPU slipped into its socket like they were meant to be together. And, of course, they were.
At this point I've triple-checked the connections. Front panel power button is responsive.
== Attempted remedies ==
I've tried different DIMM arrangements, in order of distance from closest to CPU (as in, CPU-Slot1-Slot2-Slot3-Slot4:
1,3
2,4
1,2
3,4
Also tried a few single DIMM arrangements with each DIMM on different slots.
I took the mobo instructions to suggest a 1,3 or 2,4 arrangement, but I started with the first one.
I've tried getting a display with both the HDMI port on the mobo and the DisplayPorts on the Radeon. Nothing.
==Detailed description of what happens==
Every single time I've tried spinning the system up the response has been the same:
1) the system powers on
2) a few seconds later the mobo and fan light up red
3) you hear a beep from the speaker (typical for a PC)
4) at some point (maybe it happens just before #3) the PSU fan turns off, but all the lights and system fan components keep running
As for the system LEDs, every light goes red for a few moments, the boot light for the longest time, before the DRAM light goes red and stays a solid red. And there it seems it will sit for hours if I let it.
GPU fan powers on, so mobo seems fully powered.
== Other details ==
I've read there are some issues with the RAM I purchased achieving its maximum performance, but it does seem from some cursory googling that people are at least able to see a POST display after powering on. It looks like I have a brick.
Here's a sample thread about that: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3412297/aorus-x370-gaming-ram-issue.html
I'm not even getting far enough to get into the BIOS, obviously.
Am I missing anything obvious?
Thank you
