[SOLVED] PC Boots, but doesn't post.

Hi Guys,

I'm a 17 year old computer enthusiast who enjoys to build and repair computers. Yesterday night I finished building my 3rd personal computer with the specs which follows;

• Ryzen 7 2700x (Stock cooler)
• MSI B450 Tomohawk Max
• 24 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz
• AMD RX 580 8GB
• RM750x
• 480GB Corsair NVMe SSD
• Phanteks P400A

The build went well, everything was fine and fitted into the case nicely. When I put power into the pc and pressed the on button, the lights and fans started to spin without a problem. However, when I eventually plugged it into a monitor and had the boot USB in, it didn't show anything on the screen at all. I know there is light indicators on the MSI motherboard, and when I turned it on it went to "CPU" for around 3 seconds, then to "VGA" for around 3 seconds, then went to "BOOT" for maybe 20-30 seconds.

I've re-seated the ram and gpu to see if that would fix it, but still nothing. CMOS battery has been removed and left for a few minutes, reseated but still nothing. Would appreciate any help from anyone because I'm currently struggling for things to do. Should I rebuild the machine bit for bit and try a minimum boot?

Thanks,
Mike.

if its waiting for BOOT, then it should POST
since u cant see it, either your GPU doesnt detect your monitor plugged in (could be bad cable) or used port on GPU has defect

It's waiting for boot yes, but only for around 20 seconds. Then the light goes away.
