New PC Build Not Posting

[Zenith_]

My new build:
Ryzen 5 1600
ASRock AB350M Pro 4
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz 8GB 4x2
Corsair CX430

My system is not posting. I am using an Asus HD6000 series graphics card for my video output.

When I turn my system on all the fans spin up. I first built the system in the case and it didn't post. So I breadboarded it and tried to boot it up but still no luck.

I have tried using all video ports, I have tried using all RAM slots with one and two sticks of RAM but still doesn't work.

I have cleared the cmos and reseated everything including the CPU but it still doesn't work.

I'm 16 and got a job and saved up for this PC so I can't go out and buy parts now to test if it works or not.

I'm no sure what to do as I'm very fustrated right now.

Im starting to think that I got a faulty mobo.

Thank you for all your responses.

1. Let's start from the simplest, how many cables are connecting PSU and MB? It should be 2, 24pin and 8pin. Make sure you tighten those
2. Try to boot with 1 ram first, in A2 slot. The ram slots table is:

A1 A2 B1 B2 (Mhz)
- SR - - 2667
- DR - - 2667
- SR - SR 2667
- DR - DR 2400-2667
SR SR SR SR 2133-2400
SR/DR DR SR/DR DR 1866-2133

If A2 boots, A2 and B2 for your 2 sticks

If still not working, report back.

Hi, thank you for your quick response. The PC has finally booted with one stick in the A2 slot yay! But when I put the second stick of RAM into the B2 slot the PC does not post.

Try boot with the second stick only at A2 and see if it boots. Question for you: are the two sticks from the same pack? Or separate purchase.

The PC doesn't boot with the second stick in A2. The RAM sticks are from the same pack, they're 2 4gb sticks.

Clearly second stick is bad, RMA it to the seller

try updating the bios first before rma the ram. also check to see if the other stick by itself works. may not be the ram.

He already tested both ram as single stick in the same slot. One works but the other one does not.
