I switched from an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard to an MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max that I received in a trade. CPU light comes on, no beep, no display. The normal stuff.
In frustration, I went out and purchased an MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus, which to my dismay has the same problem. I switched all of my components to a completely separate case, and it was able to boot up normally. I can’t keep it on long though, as there’s not enough airflow to keep my CPU cool.
Even more frustrated, I switched everything back over to my original case, with my B450 as the motherboard. It booted right up. I swapped it out again for the B550, and I’m back to where I was with only the little white CPU light on display.
I’m pretty baffled at the fact that it’s refusing to cooperate with me, and I could use any help possible. I have a flash drive that’s ready to flash the bios, and I tried unsuccessfully, not to my surprise.
I’ll switch back to my B450 for the time being, so I’m not without a computer.
