    Question Help with Red VGA light troubleshooting

    Thanks and I specifically mentioned the mobo I saw at a local shop simply because I want to run out and grab to test rather than wait for a new one to ship.

    Question Help with Red VGA light troubleshooting

    Sorry for another reply but I noticed the ASUS TUF x670e supported cpu list has stepping order b2 for the ryzen 7 7800x3d which i was planning to grab from a local store tomorrow to test if it'd work. Since there's no real way of knowing if it's a B2 stepping for the mobo I'm hesitant to grab it...

    Question Help with Red VGA light troubleshooting

    Let's see if it works again when I get home from work tonight. Fingers crossed. I will most likely be replacing mobo tho as I don't want to deal with this problem. Any recommendations on a good reliable motherboard? Don't think I'll go Gigabyte again

    Question Help with Red VGA light troubleshooting

    I can boot to OS with iGPU. Not with Radeon GPU or old nvidia gpu, both work, tested in roommates pc. I'm on my desktop now and seems everything working (except weirdly if I click chrome to look up clean reinstall windows guide, chrome doesn't do anything, doesn't open). Other programs like...

    Question Help with Red VGA light troubleshooting

    So the only problem with your suggestion is that I had disabled completely the iGPU in my bios previously to this. Because of that I don't think this would work? As I can't get into bios since no display and red vga light.
