So I just got my 1700 today, and in excitement I threw my build all together. And then I clicked my power button, and no post. The debug led is saying no CPU or ram detected, but there is most certainly both in. The CPU is also producing heat. Any ideas of whats going on?

Specs:
AMD R7 1700
Stock cooler
MSI b350 tomahawk
Kingston hyper X RAM 8GB (1x8GB)
1TB Seagate drive
480GB SanDisk SSD
GTX 1070
(Other tested GPUs include GTX 750ti and GTX 950)
Thermaltake versa C22 RGB snow edition
EVGA 500watt PSU
 
Solution
Hi Callum, is there a red debug light on at the bottom edge of the board, if so the solution I found was as simple as taking the CPU back out blowing gently on the slot and then re seating the CPU.... seems the B350 boards have some 'flashing' in the plastic socket which doesnt let the CPU seat first time out on a build... it solved my problem immediately.

My Specs are similar to yours....

R7 1700
Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3
Geil EvoX RGB 3000 DDR4
ID Cooling 240L AIO
Asus Strix 970

I can't access the BIOS. The RAM is DDR4. It's kingston Hyper X black. I've tried it in all slots.


 


I've got FURY Memory Black - 8GB Module - DDR4 2400MHz CL15 DIMM. I've done everything on that list.
 
To reset BIOS:

- Disconnect all power sources: Power cable, display, powered speakers.
- Remove the motherboard "coin" battery (remember which side goes up).
- Press the power button to discharge any residual power in the system.
- Wait a minute or two.
- Replace the battery and reconnect all things previously disconnected. The BIOS will now be reset.
 


I had already done that.
 
I would remove the motherboard at this point and double check your mounting points (stand-offs) and the ATX panel (a.k.a. I/O plate) to look for any short conditions.

I would also remove the CPU and check for bent/damaged/missing pins.

Other than a warm CPU, do you detect any other signs of life? Also, are all of these parts new, or did you re-use some from an earlier build?
 


Everything lights up, fans turn on etc. etc. No bent pins, the only used part is the GPU and RAM, but the GPU is fine, Unsure about RAM, will probably stop by a PC shop on the way home and grab some DDR4 and see if it works. At this point I think the Mobo or CPU is DOA.
 


Just checked Newegg site, sounds like almost all of of the MSI b350 tomahawk mobos are DOA or die after a day or 2.
 

There have been some issues with some Ryzen mobos. There have also been issues with memory compatibility and operating at higher speeds. This is all "normal" new tech angst, to a degree.

I went with the 1800x and Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero. I do look forward to getting it setup and running.
