Please Help: PC Will not POST, CPU LED On

[jwallace15]

Hello,
I built my PC just over a month ago. I used the GPU, Hard Drives, Case and Optical Drive from my last board, but replaced everything else. I was looking in BIOS last night, specifically at the RAM Overclocking (which I had been doing, but turned off). When I saved changes and restarted, my PC could not make it through the "reset" process that it would typically go through after a BIOS Change. Now the computer will not POST; the red LED for CPU is on. All of the fans run as they should. I reseated the 24 pin and 8 pin power cables. I pulled the RAM and moved the sticks around (hoping it would help). I reset the CMOS by pulling the battery, and also reseated the CPU, and did not notice any bent pins. I will appreciate any help that I can get here. This computer worked flawlessly for a month, and I'm very upset that this happened.

I have:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Gigabyte AB-350-Gaming 3
EVGA SuperSC 16gb 2X8gb DDR4-3200
EVGA 600B
EVGA 1050 TI SC
Samsung Evo 850 500gb
2 old Seagate HDDs (for Data)

Thank you in advance.

Hi, Since the battery reset did not work (power cable removed), then I suggest RMA-ing both board and CPU.

Thanks!

I exchanged the motherboard for a new one and everything worked again.

If this one goes bad too, I will probably switch to a different brand of MOBO.
