I never heard of that and haven't seen anything to that effect in any troubleshooting guides or installation documentation but will perhaps give a try.

I haven't been letting it sit for long at all--well under 10 minutes. What is "memory training"? How do I know whether it is happening or not?

Good point. Thanks.

Yes, the ATX_12V1 and ATX_12V CPU cables were connected to both the PSU and the mboard.

So, I checked the system by breadboarding. The CPU status LED comes on for less than a second on startup and then the DRAM status LED comes on and stays on. I checked with no DRAM modules in the slots and then checked with both modules separately in slot A2 ( I also tried RAM in different slots...

I don't have a PSU tester but I do have an Amprobe AM-510 multimeter and yesterday it occurred to me to use it to see if the PSU is sending power through the CPU cable. Today, I disconnected the ATX_12V1 and ATX_12V CPU cables. Using the VDC settings, the multimeter shows zero voltage from the...

So, I updated to BIOS ver. F33 today using Q-Flash Plus. The flash drive and Q-Flash Plus lights blinked for about six minutes and then stopped. Then I powered down using the PSU switch and re-started. The CPU LED alone stills comes on and the system still does not POST. In other words, nothing...

Thanks for the explanation. I might try that if updating the BIOS fails to resolve the issue.

Later today, I'm going to try using Q-Flash Plus to update the BIOS. Apparently, some folks have reported failure to POST on Gigabyte Aorus mboards when the BIOS hasn't been updated.

Thanks for responding. The AMD Wraith Prism cooler supports air or water. I'm using just air--it's a 65W processor. In any case, I haven't run it for any length of time because it fails to POST/boot. I will re-inspect the socket. I was very careful about placing the CPU in flat. I have not...

I'm trying to build a new system with all new parts. This is my second system build. The last one was ten years ago and everything came together without any problems. This time I'm trying to figure out if I have a bad CPU and would appreciate advice. I don't have a PSU tester or another socket...
