Hi everyone,
I've just built a new PC with MSI B450 Tomahawk Max mobo and Ryzen 7 3700X processor and sometimes I'm getting a solid red CPU diagnostic led on the boot. Also I'm not getting any signal to my monitor, only black screen. Not even BIOS/Setup screen appears.
I say sometimes, because when I try to reboot it again it usually boots just fine the second time. I mean it is not a huge problem, but something is definitely wrong here.
Only reason I can think of is, that I am using BETA version of the BIOS B450 Tomahawk MAX (E7C02AMS.341 beta). I am using this one as official latest BIOS had problems, where the PC wouldn't wake up from sleep or hybernation and I had to reboot instead, which is a bigger problem in my eyes. I have also not found problem like this reported anywhere yet. I will definitely try to update the BIOS once a new version comes out and see if that fixes the problem.
I have tried changing the monitor and cable, PSU is good. I have tried single RAM stick, different slots, XMP or noXMP. I've also checked and reseated the CPU 2 times, no bent pins, all seems fine. I am certain that those are not the issue, as once the PC boots everything works just fine.
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
Ram: Patriot Viper4 2x8GB KIT DDR4 3400Mhz CL16
SSD/HDD: 1TB Intel 660p SSD
GPU: MSI GTX 1080 Armor
PSU: EVGA BQ 750W
Chassis: Phanteks Eclipse P350X
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Hopefully someone knows what is going on here,
Thanks
