Hi everyone, I’m trying to build a computer with the ASRock B650E Taichi and 7950x3d for first time. Issue is that the computer will not post. What I am seeing:
Upon plugging in power supply, mother board lights up Upon powering system on, cpu tower and case fans spin, ram LEDs are on, but no signal to the monitor. I have the monitor HDMI cable plugged into the motherboard HDMI (currently I have removed GPU to try to isolate problem). The motherboard error display shows a static "00" when system is on, doesn't flash, doesn't change at all. Motherboard has never made a sound, like a beep or anything
What I have tried to fix the problem:
- Downloaded latest BIOS (version 1.24) and flashed bios per motherboard manual, flashing appears to complete successfully (LED stops blinking per manual), tried this a few times now
- Reseated RAM, confirmed that it 'clicked' into place
- Tried clearing CMOS using a pair of scissors across the jumper pins. The manual was not clear on how this was supposed to work, but I unplugged the PSU, completed the circuit across the pins, and pressed the clear CMOS button for awhile. I couldn’t tell if this did anything though.
- Tried system with and without GPU, and running monitor from both Display Port and HDMI out of GPU, no difference
- Took off CPU tower, checked CPU pins in the socket (all looked fine, no evidence of bent pins), reseated CPU and CPU tower
- For the CPU cables to PSU, I have the cables linked to the PSU with the "PSU" label on the connectors plugged into the CPU section of the PSU
- Reseated the CPU <> PSU cables on both the PSU and motherboard
- Wore a static bracelet while building computer
The motherboard manual doesn't mention an error code "00", but various forums online say this is a cpu problem. I ended up doing an RMA for the CPU, was sent a new one, and I’m getting the same problems as above with the new CPU.
What else can I try to fix this? Is there anything I’m overlooking?
I actually have a list somewhere of all these that I have come across and remembered to write down, sort of a game I play I guess. I haven’t tried to sit down and find all the possible examples of this (that’d be no fun), just stumble across them over time. Anyway the list is longer than you would expect, and now I have to add Invalid!
