NO POST--Ryzen 5 1600x--MSI x370 Gaming plus--EZ Debug CPU & DRAM on solid

[Sweet_3]

I have recently received all my parts to put together my first Ryzen build. Upon assembly, and first boot, CPU fan and all 3 case fans power up and stay on, GPU fans spin for the first 10 seconds roughly and then stop. The LED strip in the bottom left of the MB comes on and stays on, and the EZ Debug LEDs for both CPU and DRAM come on and stay on. There is no output signal from the motherboard HDMI, or the GPU HDMI or DP.
I have tried placing the DIMMs in every possible configuration, same results. I have jumped the cmos pins, same results. I have disassembled, checked for damage to CPU and socket, made sure all connectors are fully inserted and everything is where it should be, re-assembled and now having the same results.

The full component list is as follows:
msi x370 gaming plus
r5 1600x
geil evo potenza 8gbx2 pc4-24000 cl15-17-17-35
gpr416gb3000c15adc
corsair cs750m
be quiet pure rock slim
pny gtx 1060 6gb dual fan
deepcool d-shield
crucial mx300 275gb sata m.2 2280ss ssd

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas as to the next steps I should take, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You got your monitor connected to the GPU or Mobo?

Just try this, while your computer is on press the reset button on the case oddly enough that worked with a mates PC.

What screen are you using? and the GTX 1060 only fires up its fans when it needs them..I know I have one...lol
Also do you have ALL the power connections in place?
Maybe post a pic if you can...

I started with the monitor connected to the GPU, and I have tried the motherboard also, but now have it connected back to the GPU via HDMI.
I tried hitting the reset button, it hasn't changed anything, unfortunately, although the DRAM Debug LED turns off while I hold the reset button depressed, but returns once I let go.

What monitor are you using and is it brand new or do you know it works?

Btw Ryzen doen't have intergrated graphics so don't bother with mobo video output

I have tried using a Viewsonic VX2753 mh-LED via HDMI, and a Samsung U28E590D via DP.
I have all power connectors in place and properly secured, including the 24 pin atx, the 8 pin cpu connector, and the 6 pin connector for the gtx 1060.

Here is the photo of my current situation.

I have tried using a Viewsonic VX2753 mh-LED via HDMI, and a Samsung U28E590D via DP. Both are monitors I use frequently, and can confirm, are in working order.

RAM Configuration is fine

Have a look at: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3000803/msi-z170a-mate-debug-led.html

How long have you given the PC to post?

I have tried the RAM in every possible configuration, I will attempt breadboarding tomorrow if I do not come across a solution tonight, although I am confident that there is no unwanted contact of components causing ground/shorts.

 

[Sweet_3]

How long have you given the PC to post?

At least 3-4 minutes in each Ram configuration.

If you haven't already hit the Delete key and see if you can enter the bios on startup. May as well give it a try simple shit usually works.

I have tried that with no success, it may be worth mentioning, it doesn't look like there is power going to any peripherals as the keyboard lights do not come on, nor the light in the mouse sensor.

Have you got another system to try that gpu in?

 

[The Man Dan]

If you do try the RAM aswell

 

[Sweet_3]

If you do try the RAM aswell

GPU yes, RAM no. My main system is a i7 4790k/gtx 1080ti, it's on a z97 motherboard unfortunately, only capable of using DDR3 RAM. I will test the GPU to make sure it works, but I feel that my issue has to do with RAM, MB, CPU or BIOS version. I really hope this doesn't result in an RMA.

I reckon its RAM or CPU more than likely
Sorry about your build hope you sort it out

Thanks for your help.

I was able to test the RAM and the GPU, both are working properly. I spoke with MSI support and described my situation. The tech decided that the MB was most likely defective due to the fact that there was no power to any peripherals. Apparently that is a good indicator of a bad MB. I have begun the RMA process with the retailer and decided to send the CPU back along with the board since I have no way to confirm that it doesn't also have issues. I will update once they analyze my MB and determine the problem.

 

[Sweet_3]

The motherboard and cpu has been tested by the retailer, and they had no problem getting it to post. It is now being shipped back, saying that both are working normally. I am more confused than ever.

 

[Sweet_3]

The RAM was not compatible, changing out the RAM for a certified compatible set fixed the issue.

I had the same issue the msi x370 won't boot off hdmi you have to use dvi for some reason
