Can I be that unlucky to be a complete new build set of parts and get a faulty Motherboard and CPU?
Motherboard - Asus ROG STRIX X-570-E
CPU - RYZEN 7 3700X
RAM - 64Mb (4x16) T-Force DDR4 DELTA RGB 3600MHz CL 18-22-22-42 1.35V
SSD - AORUS Gen4 SSD 1TB GP-AG41TB
PSU - Corsair RM850X
GPU - EVGA GEFORCE GTX960
1.The motherboard would not reach POST no Beeps, no QLED's, QCODE did not move from 00, none of the fancy onboard LED lit up. After resetting the CMOS the CPU fan started spinning which was a bonus?
2.Ordered a replacement motherboard
Can the CPU really also be faulty ??

- replacement motherboard has the fancy on board LED lighting up so I though I was on for a resolution, alas the system will still not complete the POST, no QLED's or movement on the QCODE's, again had to reset the CMOS to get the CPU fan spinning. Also tried updating to the latest BIOS, but still no POST
- GPU works fine in another PC.
- no other PC to check the SSD
- PSU from another PC made no difference (although the new PSU caused a problem with the old PSU, EFI Shell problem, but it did go past POST)
- Can not check RAM in another PC, but totally removing from the PC causes no Beeps or QLED errors
Can the CPU really also be faulty ??
