Over the past few months I have bought PC parts for a new build I'm doing to replace the computer I've had for the past 7 years or so. I consider myself fairly good with PCs, and am turning to forums as a last resort. I have the same GPU, but everything else has been replaced.
MOBO is MSI B550 A pro,
CPU is the ryzen 5 5600x,
RAM is 4x 8GB 3600 MHz vengeance LPX DDR4 (CMK16GX4M2D3600C18)
SSD is 970 EVO Plus, currently blank but going to be boot drive
GPU is MSI AMD RX580
PSU is 550W.
Once I installed all the components and double, triple checked that all the cords and cables and whatnots were all plugged in correctly, I tried to boot, and everything lit up but no display. Debug light said CPU, but when I rebooted it said VGA and then boot. Reseated RAM, reseated GPU, reseated CPU, checked all power cables, replaced HDMI cable. Had my old SSD in there from an intel rig, so I bought the samsung 970 one and tried with that and a windows USB boot device, but no luck, same symtpoms, except now the debug is literally random, sometimes it says CPU sometimes VGA sometimes VGA and CPU sometimes just boot, never DRAM though funnily enough.
Cleared CMOS by shorting and by removing battery, no luck either time. Tried to flash BIOS with a USB and the flash button, just incase BIOS was the issue, even though my board is b550 but the flash bios LED didn't stay on or flash, it just turned on when I pressed the button and then turned off again, so I'm not sure it worked. Tried different configurations of RAM, checked that MOBO was on standoffs and not case, tried other M.2 slot, googled and googled, and I can't find anything and nothing works. Is there anything I'm missing, anything anyone can think of to try, or do I literally just have to assume something isn't working and RMA everything one by one? Thanks in advance for anyone's help. Cheers.
