Changed to b550 tomahawk but PC isn't functioning properly.
I received my new motherboard and started the replacement process. The system had a B450 Tomahawk Max 2 with a fried DIMM slot. It runs a Ryzen 7 5700X, has a GTX 1070 GPU and an 850 PSU. After swapping it in, everything functioned normally until the lights and fans started spinning, then slowed down and eventually stopped. The VGA debug light appeared. I removed the GPU and tried again, but the same problem persisted. What’s happening?
I cleaned the PCIe slot and found the motherboard came from a specific place.
To clean it, follow your specific instructions but generally check the manual. For guidance on Newegg, visit their website and search for the product details.
Inspect the PCIe slot for dust or debris. A VGA debug light could indicate a CPU connection issue with the GPU. Examine the CPU for bent or missing pins and reinsert it securely. If booting remains impossible, consider updating the BIOS. Refer to the manual for specific steps. Success is possible!
