Hi All,
I've been a long time lurker here and I really like the site / community but I've finally hit a wall, and a breaking point. I'd really appreciate the help.
Two fun facts before I dive in; I haven't bought an AMD in a decade, and this is the first time I've wanted to put my head through a wall trying to build a pc (I've built over a dozen).
Per the title, I recently picked up those two. I used PC Parts Picker as well to make sure I didn't get anything that was incompatible to go with them. I got RAM, a power supply, and a new Corsair case.
Bottom line; I don't even know if you can say it "won't post" in my situation. For example, sometimes when I boot up, there's nothing for upwards of 30 seconds, then the Edge splash screen that's apparently locked. Keyboard is "on" but no keys actually work. Other times, it'll tell me my windows version needs repair. Other times, it'll tell me my config has changed and to hit F1 to change settings, which I can't do, because my keyboard is also locked.
Although, not always. Sometimes my keyboard works (I've tried three keyboards now, wired) and I can get into the bios. Nothing is glaring other than my RAM running at considerably lower speeds.
The power comes on, the error lights are somewhat random and vary. The RGB and fan spins. No beeps or anything consistent. Every time I boot up it's a new problem or a weird variant of an existing one. Roll the dice.
I've tried:
I'm seriously done, unless someone can save me. I've literally never had this issue with any computer I've built and I'm genuinely pissed off - I'll likely RMA all of this, bite the price bullet and build an intel PC. I'm not trying to start a debate between the two, I just mean AMD and MSI are not my besties right now. I feel like I'm working with actual trash.
Either the mobo is broken or I'm missing something obvious, but in fairness the more research I've done on the x570 line the more I run into people that complain. I don't know. I'm just frustrated. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I've tried:
- Every conceivable RAM config
- Different RAM (I have 3 different kinds to try)
- Checking every single physical connection multiple times
- Rebuilding the computer from nearly scratch
- Pulling and installing all extra pieces into my old PC (i7 7700) and everything works fine
- Using the 8 pin + 4 pin or just the 8 pin. 24 pin always connected.
- Checking all power buttons, LEDs, etc. Jumpers are in the right place. Everything is good.
- Trying only one SSD, multiple, etc
- Replacing my 2060 with my old 1060 - no change
- Rebuilding my old system. All good.
- Checking for grounding issues
- Reading every conceivable related thread on here and reddit
- Watching a dozen YT vids
- Checked all pins on the CPU
- Punching things
