Device fails to power on when using X570 ASUS TUF Gaming Plus WiFi model.
Your 5800x runs smoothly with 64GB RAM, but the new 5950x isn't showing up. The fans are spinning, yet the motherboard only displays a yellow or orange LED. Changing RAM to a single stick didn’t resolve the issue. The BIOS version you’re using is 4403, and the site says any version from 2607 onward is supported. Upgrading might not help, but someone might have better advice.
Inspect the CPU carefully for any bent pins. If you find any, attempt to straighten them using a card. If everything looks normal, I’ve successfully used Linus’ method by inserting and removing the CPU a few times.
Motherboard diagnostics using Q-LED signals via ASUS support | Official guidance from ASUS USA confirms all pins are functional and CPU placement is correct. If resetting doesn't help, try another motherboard model.
I experienced a problem with the video output when switching CPUs. It prompts for a TPU reset, which occasionally causes glitches on the GPU and may display a black screen. Most TPU reset screens also prevent enabling the numlock light, which could be dangerous. Wait a few minutes, then press Y on the keyboard and see if it works. If not, I also tried removing the CMOS and RAM to resolve the issue.
