Hello, yes I did do one stick as well as just CPU to check those parts. No issues there. Motherboard is outside the case on the MOBO box. I don't suspect a short.

I was worried that might be the case. We just all know about the GPU situation right now and even cheap ones aren't cheap.

Parts: Ryzen 7 5800x - 16GB 3900mhz RAM - New 750W PSU - ROG STRIX B550 On boot, VGA light stays on, no screen. I have had same problem with three different boards. Monitor cable has been plugged into GTX 680. The following is my trouble shooting. Removed GPU, tested only CPU and RAM...

So just as a final update to this thread. I believe the end result was of a old PSU, though I have no concrete evidence. Here is the list of things that were done for me to come to this conclusion: This was the second set of CPU and Mobo. I find it highly unlikely that both sets were...

Reseting CMOS didn't work. I removed the battery for 15-20 minutes. No dice.

Got it. I'll reset the CMOS when I get the chance to. Any ideas what might be the problem if CMOS doesn't work? Power supply and GPU work on old rig. And this is the second set of CPU and MoBo so I think it unlikely that both sets of CPUs and Mobos were defective.

I'll give the CMOS rest a try. Why is CMOS reset more important due to BIOS update? Yes, I've used only the GPU I/0 since the 3600 doesn't have integrated graphics. The GPU uses two 6 pin connectors and I believe they're in there pretty good.

For the connecter I've done both the PCIE 3.0 and 4.0 ports. I've also used a VGA-DVI, a DVI, HDMI, and Display Port. I haven't reset the CMOS but I did flash a BIOS update.

Thank you for the reply, it is a Corsair 650W 80+ gold. It's works fine on my old build.
