First off, heres the specs
Ryzen 7 3800X
Gigabyte x570 Aorus pro wifi
Corsair Vengeance 16Gb(8x2)
650W EVGA 650GT PSU
EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 ULTRA
WD 250GB SSD (With OS on it)
Gigabyte Aorus 1TB SSD
Windows 10 Home 64 bit OS
Coolermaster Masterliquid ML240 V2 CPU Cooler w/ Thermal grizzly
x2 Corsair SP140 RGB Pro
So I built my first PC ever this weekend and everything was going great! I booted it up for the first time with no hiccups, managed to install Windows from Flash Drive w/ creation tool, did all the updates for windows, and then I shut the computer off. Turned it back on so I could enter the BIOS to activate XMP for my corsair ram sticks since it was at 2100 mhz or so and wanted to go higher. Once I clicked the XMP button it recognized my ram sticks and their mhz rating, so I clicked the save and exit button.
The screen went black and I figured I would wait a couple minutes to see if it did anything or shut off. It never did so I held power button to shut off. When I turn the PC back on now my monitor never even connects and no POST occurs, just a black screen. The PC however turns on, all the lights on everything glow, fans are spinning at normal speeds, light on graphics card is on, etc. The alarm code is one long beep followed by three short ones which seems to be a VGA issue from what I have read unless I was mistaken, and the status light for VGA is bright red also confirming it is a graphics issue...?
It just wont seem to recognize my RTX 3070 anymore after that BIOS event... I tried reseating it multiple times, checked power cables, the EVGA letters light up every time, tried plugging it into the PCie 8 instead of the 16, moved my ram sticks into different slots, even pulled nearly everything out and reinstalled... I honestly have no clue why turning on XMP has made my graphics card unrecognizable.
I also reset motherboard to try and clear what I had done by first unplugging power supply, removing the small button battery, shorting CMOS posts with screwdriver, and holding power button. I feel like I'm overlooking something super simple or maybe I'm doing things in the wrong order... I never once did a BIOS update, simply entered BIOS and clicked on XMP. Windows booted up fine previous to all of that.
In addition to all of that, I figured I would try a POST test by plugging an HDMI into the motherboard port without the graphics card. 3800X doesnt have onboard graphics though and I assume thats why it failed as well. I tested my monitor on my laptop and it auto-recognized the hdmi connection immediately, I've got both VGA power cables plugged into my GPU firmly, checked connection at PSU and its also firm. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
