Hi, I am a bit lost so any help is highly appreciated.
I just built a new PC so every part is new. After installing all components and plugging in nothing happened, literally nothing, I only could hear a ticking noise like a clock.
I unplugged everything from the motherboard except the ATX power supply and the CPU and tried it again, still no change. When I unplugged the CPU as well a red light was flashing on the motherboard directly at the CPU power input indicating that the plug is missing. So I thought the PSU is the problem and I tried to test it by using a paperclip creating a short circuit on the 24 pin ATX power plug and the PSU fan immediately started working. My thought is now that it is most definitely the motherboard but the red light on the CPU plug confuses me as it seems to work. But no beeping sound or other indicating LEDs was ever on. What do you think?
Thanks in advance
Configuration:
MB Asus X570-PRO
CPU AMD Ryzen 3800x
PSU Corsair CX 650 F (650W)
