Hi, your MSI B450 Tomahawk Max with a 5600X CPU has been running smoothly for two years without any problems. You mentioned a red light issue earlier, but after checking connections and reinstalling RAM, CMOS, and battery, it worked fine. Recently, you downgraded the GPU from 6700X to 1030 and faced the same CPU red light about a week ago. After trying RAM, GPU, and CMOS fixes, it finally resolved itself and ran well for a week. Now it’s showing the CPU red light again. You’ve tried several troubleshooting steps but haven’t found a solution. Have you checked if there are any BIOS updates available for this model? Seeing many discussions about similar problems with this specific motherboard suggests it might be related to firmware or driver issues.

Is your motherboard BIOS current? Have the Radeon drivers been deleted using DDU?

I’m not sure about your setup. It seems the display stopped showing BIOS checks after you bought it two years ago and didn’t make any changes afterward.
