Hi all,
I have a custom built PC that I cannot get to boot any OS from a USB. I’ve tried to boot the windows media creation tool and the most recent distro of Linux Mint. With the windows installs, it attempts to boot and immediately reboots. With Mint, I can get the bootloader, but no matter if I choose standard, compatibility, or the OEM installer, it also immediately reboots. I’ve replaced the RAM, and gotten a second motherboard, neither of which yielded any results. I’ve run memtest and 0 failures. All of my hardware is detecting in BIOS. I’m absolutely stumped. Specs are as follows:
AMD A8-9600 Bristol Ridge Quad-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM4 65W AD9600AGABBOX Desktop Processor Radeon R7
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Superclocked GAMING 2GB GDDR5 DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card
Seasonic M12II Bronze 520W 80Plus Power Supply
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C16 (PC4-19200)
WD RE4 1 TB Enterprise Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA II, 64 MB Cache
ADATA SU800 128GB 3D-NAND 2.5 Inch SATA III
MSI ProSeries AMD Ryzen A320 DDR4 VR Ready USB 3 micro-ATX Motherboard
I have tried so much. I’m absolutely at a loss as to what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
UPDATE: MSI has a “board explorer” feature in BIOS. As far as I can tell, if it detects something plugged in, it’s shaded in on the diagram. It detects all my components, but the power connectors for the CPU AND the motherboard (ATX 12v) are not shaded in. What could that entail?
