I had set up my system for a POST test, msi b350 gaming pro matx with 2x4 gb hyper x fury ram, and an older gpu, and my ryzen 5 1600. It posted fine. No problem.
Then i assembled it and put it in my case and went to boot it up and install everything, and black screen.
The motherboard had a red led indicating cpu not detected or fail. I took it out, and discovered some thermal paste had run a little and i guess touched the edge of the pins, causing the fail. So i cleaned it, dryed it, reinstalled and did a post, and still fail. What should i do?
