Just put together a new build and it's been an absolute disaster, I'm on day 3 now and my new computer
is still not up and running. I'm not new at building computers either, this is my 5th build, no other
computer I've built has been as hellish as this one.
Specs are:
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK
Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL16 Vengeance
Samsung 870 EVO SATA SSD 500GB
Corsair TX850M PsU
Noctua NH-L12S cpu cooler
MSi 1070 graphics
OS: win 10 pro
First thing that happens when i boot the thing up is the temp going crazy, idling at 90, and CPU fan spinning at full blast, obviously
i understand that something is wrong and turn the computer off. I had not messed with the Bios, all I had done was upgrading
it to the second newest bios. Figuring I perhaps had mounted the cpu fan wrong or applied the thermal paste sloppily, I redo the
whole thing. But no, no difference. I know how to apply it, I've done this before. Then, I connect another case fan, that i hadn't
been using before (new one.) And... that upsets the whole computer for whatever the reason, not only does the case fan
not even work I can't boot the computer after that (of course me plugging in the fan may be unrelated to this), but the
computer wont boot past the "MAG" motherboard logo screen. And I can't get into either windows or bios at this point.
That dumb logo screen is all i get to see.
At this point I try to reset the bios by removing the cmos battery. I check that the sata cable is properly put in to the ssd
as well. Nothing. Nothing makes a difference. At this point I just wanna cry.. and destroy the whole computer with a sledgehammer
right afterwards.
But before I do all of that, I thought I could make this desperate plea on tom's hardware forum and hope that somebody
has an idea what the problem could be...
