HELP, My motherboard RGB and Start button light up but no thing else. ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero issue.
New build with all new parts
Once I have built my new PC and powered up the PSU, my motherboard's RGB lights and start button light up but nothing else turns on. Both the case power button and the motherboard power buttons do not start the PC or allow anything to power on besides the already lit up rgbs on the motherboard. NO QCODE LED and no CPU warning light
Troubleshooting completed
(I am new to this and am not an expert BUT*)
the only thing I have found weird is that I have also used my multimeter to check the current voltage on the "Probelt Measurement Points" and in order "GND,VCORE, NB_SOC,DRAM,1.8_PLL, SB) every point reads 0 Volts while motherboard has power except for SB and 1.8PLL points which are running extremely low power.
^^^ i dont know what any of this means. or if the whole cpu has to be powered for these points to be active anyway?
Parts list
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
MB: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero
SSD: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB

Troubleshooting completed
- I have disconnected and reconnected all of my power cables and PC components.
- I have removed the motherboard from the case and ran the rig on a non conductive cardboard surface.
- I have run only mandatory connections (MB power, CPU, Video)
- I have used a multimeter to check every pin in every PSU cable after both shorting out the 24 pin MB power and connecting normally.
- I have flashupdated the BIOS using a USB direct to the motherboard.
- I have plugged into different (functioning) outlets around the house
- I have stared at it intensely, willing it to work after turning it off an on again for the 79th time.
- (everything in the kit is new and installed [/reinstalled] carefully)
