Hi
first of all thanks in advance to help me out.
I did decided to do a build for my daughter (cheap gaming PC ) . I will list the hardware on the end of this thread.
Followed a video on you tube :) so I do not miss anything. I am think everything is assembled the way it should or at least I believe it is.
At the first boot I did see the red D Ram light was on solid and I did get no signal onto the screen.
I did try to reseat the RAM also did try to use only one stick to boot.
After that I moved on and did Q-Flash the motherboard to the latest version but the same issue.
I have different RAM on the way but the RAM I bought should be compatible with this board I believe.

Any help is appreciated.

I'd have looked into a higher quality unit. Pretty much all of their SMART series PSU's aren't worthy of being labelled a PSU.

I'd have looked into a ram kit with AMD's E.X.P.O advertised on the packaging. As it stands, the rams are meant for an Intel platform. We'll still try and see if we can make it work on your platform. Are the rams populating slots A2 and B2?

After that I moved on and did Q-Flash the motherboard to the latest version but the same issue.
Did you clear the CMOS after verifying your BIOS was successfully flashed to the latest version?

I see thank you so you think this might be the issue ? Not enough Power ?
Thank you for your time
 
Sorry forgot to ask, do the fans spin and or gpu/fan/ lights come on when powering up?
yes fan spins and GPU light did turn on I will try now to let it sit for longer using a different GPU I have sitting around so I do not need to take it out of the other machine should be ok I assume.
And thanks yall for helping me and my daughter out.
Will report back in 30 ish min 😏
 
Ok so I went of to something else after I cam back the CPU light was on solid now when I start the CPU light does not blink for a second anymore its on right away solid and no D Ram Light
The CPU Fans on Cooler are spinning I did unplug them and re plug just in case but same issue should I take CPU out again ? But I am sure it is seated right with triangle in that corresponding corner. CPU I did buy on sale from Ali hopefully that does not matter it was not in the original box.

Took CPU back out looks okay motherboard as well but who knows wiped off with some alcohol cleaned term paste put new seated again back together same issue instant solid CPU light.
Thanks again
 
Hahaha what a wicked machine Q flashed the motherboard with version F32f now back to D Ram light thanks guys I am about to give up have a feeling something not right with this motherboard. After all the whole thing is just 5 parts and all the connectors are more or less idiot proof, I work on cars for a living appears way more complex than this but somehow the struggle is real with this box of magic.
Anyway thank you again for the feedback at this point I do not even know what is broken or the issue so not confident to return anything.
