Once person said they tried the second PCIe slot, which is PCIe 3.0x4 and not PCIe 4.0x16. Also, there's this: That's why I'm checking if anyone here can report having this combination work now, since this was 3 months ago and maybe there was an update to fix the issue since then.

I'm looking to buy a PowerColor Hellhound RX 6650xt, but checking it out on google turned up some unfortunate information. Radeon 6650xt crash upon installing/repairing drivers. - Troubleshooting - Linus Tech Tips PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT Hellhound not working in top slot on MSI mobo...

Does the fact that the blue GPU LED comes on lead you to this conclusion? Other than popping out the CMOS battery (which I think requires removing heat sinks and/or other components from the motherboard to access), I'm not sure what to try other than replacing the GPU. I guess I could try new...

One piece of information I've neglected to include in all of my posts is that I (used to) usually have 3 outputs connected to my GPU - my 2 computer monitors, and a AVR with my TV connected to that. I'd usually just use the AVR for audio, but sometimes I'd use the TV too, and not-infrequently...

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried the 2nd slot and I'm still having the same issue. I did have to unplug the hard drives from the motherboard to get it to fit there, but it should be able to get to BIOS without a boot drive, assuming there's a signal from the GPU, right?

What does that even mean? How am I not wanting to fix things? When I first had an issue I went through many troubleshooting checklists as I described in my first post on an older thread (linked in the first post of this thread). I had a red CPU light on my motherboard. I reseated all...

I tried resetting the bios by placing a screwdriver between the 2 pins. I pushed the power button for 30s twice while doing this. Is removing the CMOS battery likely to be effective when this isn't? I sent MSI support a message asking where the CMOS battery is on the B660M-A, so once I hear...

My screen does say "HDMI 2 is connected" but it's receiving no signal. The GPU does have a blue LED on, so it's receiving power. Is there anything I should check to adjust/fix my GPU? I should note that the original issue I had was my computer not outputting to screens - this is even before...

Wow, I'm so stupid. In my search for the CMOS battery, I discovered the JFP1 pins. I plugged my front panel stuff into an unlabeled identical pin set that just happened to be in same location as the JFP1 pints on my old motherboard. Now the fans and lights are turning on and there's no red...

Is that something I can do if nothing is turning on? If you're referring to removing and replacing the CMOS battery - I did that with the old motherboard, but the the new one I don't see a CMOS battery. Is that something I should have to do with a brand new motherboard? Thanks for taking the...

I've been having issues since last Friday. My computer was acting up after a storm, so I'm not sure if there was a power surge, but my attempts to troubleshoot didn't help or may have made things worse. I posted here (Question - Computer will not start up, already tried many troubleshooting...

I just took a look at the back of my motherboard. Is it fried? Or is it dirty, and can it be cleaned somehow? View: https://imgur.com/yjCs0dc Thanks!

Thanks for the update. Were you able to see the crushed pins? I'm having a similar issue to you, but my motherboard's red CPU light is on. I've tried a bunch of things, but nothing seems to fix it, and I have no idea if my motherboard socket pins are bent or not: View...

I installed the new fan/heatsink, but that didn't help. I tried checking the CPU socket for bent pins, but I really have no idea what I'm looking for ( View: https://imgur.com/pcw8f2V ). Does anyone know anything else the red CPU light on the motherboard could mean? Thanks!
