Having an issue and I’ve searched and searched and can’t find anyone with the same exact issue that’s helped much. This is my first PC build so I am lost in what is wrong. I am an electrical engineer so don’t be worried about getting technical. Any help is appreciated.
Here’s the specs
B450 Tomahawk Max
16Gb DDR4 3600 RAM
Rzyen 5 3600
XFX Raw II 5700XT GPU
Here’s the issue.
Everything went smooth building it. Worked great minus some temp issues that was resolved with undervolting the CPU slightly. About a month or two in I went to turn on and no signal from the GPU. Tried a lot of thing I seen on other forums such as clearing the CMOS, removing a RAM stick etc. I moved the GPU to another PCIE slot and it works so the GPU seems fine. So I’m down to the mother board having a bad PCIE slot or something wrong with the CPU seeings how the PCIE slot not working is the one tied to the CPU. I don’t have spares laying around so I haven’t been able to swap and check so I’m wondering if there is any other test I can do to narrow it down? Other than that I guess it’s guess what part to replace and see how it goes. The VGA Light on the motherboard comes on during boot and then stays off which I find odd but I also tried to boot without the gpu installed and it doesn’t stay on either so I’m assuming that’s no help. Thanks for any advice!
