I knew it was a CPU issue when you showed both the CPU and DRAM LEDs being lit. I've seen that issue a couple of times on both AMD and Intel rigs. In my experience, that is indicative of an issue with the CPU's memory controller.
@shanez1215 10 ай бұрын
Ah crap. My Unraid server is doing that, but only on the first boot. The CPU is a 3800 XT I picked up locally for 100. It's running in ECO mode, which for this chip basically clocks/volts it similar to a 3700X. I might pick up a 5700G for 165 off Amazon while prices are low. The iGPU is useful for Unraid since it doesn't always hand the GPU back and forth correctly. Plus it SHOULD reduce idle power Or maybe I should wait till the CPU completely fails? I have an ITX gaming PC with a 5600 in it, so I can swap some of the parts, reseat some things and see what the problem is.

It would be my guess that the CPU got bent slightly by the motherboard and it isn't making great contact anymore so it isn't working. That's a known issue which is why people make replacement CPU holders to secure the CPU to the socket without bending.

One thing i feel needs to be mentioned more in these kinds of videos is that oftentimes these kinds of things just happen. No matter how good a company is or how thorough their QC is some parts will always make it to customers and end up failing. The only times when issues like this are a big deal is when its a company being negligent in their production or their customer service when there is an issue.

I upgraded it to a 2700x and the failure to post is still continuing. It's completely possible that it doesn't have the proper BIOS update, but I vividly remember bios updating it after 2000 series released, and iirc it should've even come 2000 series compatible. The options i thought I had were to get a new motherboard or try fixing my ram, but I think I may have to try putting a different 1st gen CPU in first.

@@shaneeslick I'm thinking either the CPU socket is damaged or he actually managed to electrocute his board. Either way, can't be just a matter of too old bios because there isn't a generation older than the ryzen 1000 series, hence the 1600 should work, which it doesn't.

G'day @@PancakeSerenade AM4 did have Athlon X4 & the A Series APUs before 1000. Yeah I know the 1600 should POST I was just trying to understand the timeline of when POST stopped responding, as I said it not working now even if he did do the BIOS Update is weird because the only CPUs that MSI removed from Compatability for AM4 were the AM4 Athlon X4 & A**** APUs when ZEN 2 was released. Unless you are installing the CPU with a Hammer or adding Thermal Paste like GN Steve a broken socket is unlikely, unlike LGA PGA is so hard to damage the socket even if you pull out the CPU when removing the Cooler it is normally the CPU pins that break. So unlike intel a dead socket is less very rarely the case with AMD before AM5. Next year for me will be my 40th Anniversary of learning to code & 32yrs of Building PCs but in such a fast changing hobby there is always something new to learn. Like Greg I like helping people even if it is to just help understand what went wrong & asking the person questions of what they did I may learn something too.

I had the same issue a couple weeks ago It was working the day prior and the next day, I was casually browsing the web when it suddenly shut off and would not POST. I was getting the two debug LEDs lit and it turned out to be a problem with my CPU as well (5800X3D). I even brought in my CPU to my local Memory Express and they could not find a problem with my CPU physically. Luckily, my CPU was still under warranty and AMD helped replace the CPU, which took around 2 weeks -from the initial RMA request- for me to receive the replacement.

Debug LEDs are the equivalent to a "service engine soon" light on a car, they tell you that there is "a" problem, not the severity of the problem or even what the problem is related to. The dual 7 segment LED debug displays are much much better because they at least point you in the right direction, generally they give the exact reason or at least a problem related to the reason.

I had a similar issue with a new 12600k recently. The system worked for 2 weeks, but will then crash when booting into windows. Thinking it was a windows issue, I had attempted to reinstall windows, only for the system to post, but half way during windows installation, it will just crash or power cycle a few minutes into the installation process. After visiting the distributor for the motherboard, thinking it was a mobo issue, and spending 2 days testing everything at the distributor's office, we found it was the processor causing the crashing. The cooler was on properly, and I did have the CPU secured with Thermalright's LGA bracket from day one. No overclocking, with XMP enabled. I had RMAed the 12600k to intel, and have since gotten a replacement, which had worked flawlessly so far. I suspect that there was a bad batch/line of LGA1700, which had gone out to consumers. But since I have no other evidence of this (different generation processors in the video and all), and that they replaced it quickly, no harm no foul I guess. Any others out there with a LGA1700 processor that had died the same way?

I'm wondering if that CPU got zapped with ESD. One of the things I learned about ESD when working in a computer plant was that if you don't take proper care (ESD strap or whatever), sensitive parts can get zapped, be damaged and still test good. But because of the damage they will typically fail within the first 90 days. I see a lot of KZfaqrs building PCs and no sign of ESD protection. I've seen the electron microscope pictures of the damage and have zapped enough of my own stuff that while I'm not anal about much, I am about ESD protection.

My sister's PC was doing a similar thing recently: both CPU and DRAM LEDs lit out of nowhere and it would refuse to POST, most of the time. (the PC is from 2017, 1st gen Ryzen with a B350 board) Sometimes it actually would boot but only half of the RAM was usable, even though it was all detected in the BIOS. (16 GB total, 8 GB usable) The BIOS could see both sticks perfectly fine but just couldn't use one of them. After troubleshooting for a couple hours, it turns out that the fix was really simple: clean the DDR4 contacts with some alcohol (and those contacts looked spotless beforehand). It has not complained since.

I recently built my wife a similar PC, ASRock B560 Steel Legend, the only used part was a 10400 CPU with very little previous use. I had the same issue, same two debug lights, it drive me crazy until I pulled the 11400f out of my machine and it worked. Now I need a new case, I "upgraded" to a 12600kf I had, and a Z690 I got cheap with a tweaked PCIE slot that needed a little TLC. I figured with a better platform, I might as well spring for a 6950 XT, except the case I am using was too small for my Arc 770 LE, no way that chungus 6950 is fitting.

13400F is probably a crap bin of the 13600 die already, may have just been some sketchy silicon that managed to pass validation and run for awhile before some bad circuits caught up with it. It still happens with some small percentage of chips after they heat cycle a bit.

That was definitely an odd one. Seen that once on an AM4 board and found that most of the pins were pretty much fubar but never seen it on an intel system. Unless Asrock are bringing out new LED codes for their boards but that could be a stretch. I was thinking that if the area on the board for the CPU heatsink was bending or deforming when it was installed thus the thermal paste not covering the whole ICH on 12th and 13th gen systems as I think Jay2 covered that recently, although I'm not 100% sure if that's still a thing or if only certain makes of board are doing it.

I waant too happy with the mnobo any way so i ordered a different one that matches the theme of my build better and after a bios update the 5900x works like nothing ever happened to it.

I got same symptoms with one of my old rig and it end badly cuz both of the cpu and motherboard died. My rig was 3 month old and starting to act the exact same way, start to freeze and blue screen randomly then finishing by 3-4 restart to have him work fine then he died. My old Ryzen 7 3800X and Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming motherboard died in the same time, the motherboard was having 2 bios and both of them got corrupted for no reason. I replaced this rig with my actual one who got a upgrade at the start of this year. My Ryzen 7 3700X and MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon WiFi never failed yet and i almost killed her doing a bios update that end badly, i'm glad i was able to save my motherboard. I needed this bios update to make my Ryzen 7 5800X3D working, my rig still working fine and i will surely upgrade my gpu. My RTX 2070 Super still a good gpu but i want a less restricted gpu, maybe a RX 7800XT or 7900XT i'm not sure

The very same thing happened to me with an i9 10850k on an msi z490 gaming plus I think the motherboard was trying to say the cpu memory control was dead is my best guess so I’m glad that replacing the cpu was basically my only option this long after as I did wonder Thankfully I managed to sell the cpu to my local used computer parts store and they can apparently fix a lot of “dead” hardware so I got some money back at least towards the replacement cpu (sadly hd to downgrade to i5 10600kf due to trade in value :( )

My bet is in a memory compatibility between the MB and the Memory kit. I had an issue just like that on my personal rig EVGA x299 DARK and Corsair Vengance RBG Pro SL. Although the CPU did support the memory kit (as per Corsair), the MB didn't (yes I know the mem controller is in the cpu, ask Intel and EVGA about that if you will). [edit] The non SL, i.e. Corsair Vengance RBG Pro works just fine on a evga x299, that's how I solve it. Peace and long life! 🖖

I had similiar issue, and it turned out to be a bad cpu cooler mount, and reinstalled my old one and everything worked.
