First off, thank you to anyone that takes the time to read this.
My gaming machine (specs below) suddenly stopped booting. It worked fine the night before and in the morning it wouldn't POST. The CPU LED stays lit. GPU & RAM tested in another system.
Here's where it gets interesting, at least to me. The PC will boot with a 1700x and a 2700x, it will not boot with a 3900x or a different 5900x.
The BIOS has been reflashed to the most current non beta version, still no POST/CPU LED lit on mobo.
I've tried booting with only 1 RAM stick and in the chance that one was faulty, tried with the other 3 sticks in A2 one at a time.
Someone suggested it could be the PSU, so that was replaced with a Corsair 850watt. Still no POST.
Every attempt has been made with only mouse & keyboard connected with USB, nothing else aside from monitor.
IMO, the only other thing it could be is the mobo, right? What am I missing here?
MSI X570 Gaming Plus
Ryzen 9 5900x
32GB G.Skill Trident Z 3200
Zotac Trinity 3080
WD 1tb NVME
EVGA 750w PSU (now Corsair 850w)
