I am a bit of a newbie and need help. I am building a system that won’t boot when the CPU is on the motherboard. It gets no power - no lights, fan movement, or anything. It is just dead. But as soon as I remove the CPU, everything lights up. It makes no difference what other components are installed. If they are there, they light up too.
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600x
Motherboard: MSI b450 gaming plus max
PSU: Corsair CX650M
the power supply seems fine (tested with a multimeter).
from what o gather, the motherboard is compatible with the CPU and the max version that I have supports the new generation of AMD without a bios flash, although I tried that too.
is it likely now that the CPU was DOA? Or is there something else to try?
