Question Constant RED & YELLOW LED on the motherboard ?

[Peanutty84]

Issue: Constant RED & YELLOW LED on the motherboard and PC is not even booting to BIOS.



New Hardware used in test:

MBD: MSI B650 Tomahawk WiFi

CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D

RAM: 4 x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5 EXPO

Old hardware used in test:

PSU: Corsair RM 750X – Works in current setup

Case: Fractal Meshify 2 – No issues in current setup



What I’ve tried [Every setup has been given 40 min of possible memory training time]:

• Updated BIOS: 7D75v1J and 7D75v1I [2024-08-09/2024-06-13]
• Reset CMOS: short JBAT1 for 10 sec, removed CMOS battery for 10/20 min
• Tried RAM configs: All four sticks tried in A2
• CPU change 2 x 7800X3D
• No science: held down “Flash Bios” for different extends of time.

Service:

MSI B650 Tomahawk motherboard has been to service where they concluded no faults but they didn't give me any documentation as that is something they don't do.

I really hope someone out there can suggest possible solutions.

HI, When I bought a new computer with an msi motherboard and ddr5 memory, I had the same issue, the solution is to wait just a couple minutes, in my case I had to wait almost 120 seconds, and then the computer will boot on its own, just turn it on you'll notice the red and yellow leds, wait a couple minutes then the leds will turn off then a green led will turn on then your computer will boot and with time It will get better till it's going to be almost instantaneous. Just be patient.
