Question Motherboard cycling through Q-leds but not booting.

[Yes_275]

I have a ROG Strix B450-F Gaming ii motherboard, Ryzen 5 3600, 2x 8gb ddr4 ram sticks, Radeon 6600 xt gpu, and a 600 watt psu.

I recently bought this new motherboard due to me thinking I had a dead board but as of now the board cycles through the possibly problems(Dram, Cpu, Vga) and doesnt want to display. I had the same problem with my old motherboard and before then my computer shutdown randomly and wouldn't boot or display afterward so I think something must've happened for it to shutdown like that.

Please help me find the source of this problem.

Xmp stands for Intel eXtreme Memory Profile. It's copywrited/patented. For Amd boards Asus chose to call their 'xmp', DOCP so they wouldn't have to pay Intel royalties. It's slightly different on a code level, but essentially is the same thing.

Oh ok I'll try it out when I get home.

Update: I have now been able to find the source of the problem, I had bought a ryzen 5 5600x and installed it and was able to display almost instantly and boot into windows.

Im still not really sure what happened to my old cpu but all I know that this was the source of the problem.

The 5000 series has considerably better compatibility with ram, a stronger memory controller and slightly different way of dealing with ram. Plus a move from a 3600 to 5600x is a very decent jump in performance, bonus. 👍
