Hi everyone, I just built a new ryzen system which unfortunately doesn't start at all. I used all the parts from my previous computer except for the motherboard and the CPU.

The CPU was bought brand new and the mobo was an open box unit. If you can hopefully see in the picture, the there are some lights on the motherboard that are turning on and the GPU seems to be receiving power as well, could this mean that the motherboard is actually OK?

Things I've tried:
Remove GPU and all unnecessary connections
Different Ram
Cleared cmos battery
Try to jump start
Checked and rechecked connections
Checked and rechecked whether Cpu is properly installed

I don't have any spare motherboards or cpus so which do you think is more likely to be the culprit? Thank you.

You say doesn't start. Do you mean it won't power on? Could be the power switch, which you can bypass to test this. If it gets power but isn't POSTing, are there any error beeps?

Need more info! List all the parts.

It doesn't power on at all. I did try to jump start it using a screw driver, no success.

Full specs:
B350m-a motherboard
Ryzen 5 1400
16gb ram
Gtx 960

Get a PSU tester and check it. If it's good you need a new/replacement motherboard.

are you using ddr3 ram with that chip? what were the old parts

It could very well be due to the RAM. I need the exact model of it to tell you if you'd be experiencing any grievances with it or not. Generally, HyperX RAM SHOULD work just fine with Ryzen, but you never know.
