Identify issues with the EZ Debug LED.
EZ DEBUG LED shows RED CPU and AMBER DRAM Building my first pc; I've done teardowns before and so I'm moderately knowledgeable on parts, specs, and whatnot. I was going for the most budget options with high specs, so here is the parts list: GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX CPU: Ryzen 7900X MOBO: MSI B650M-A Wifi RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (single stick of dual channel) Wraith Prism Cooler; I will also try the LT720 Liquid Cooler, but I don't think this is the problem. 1 TB SSD, Samsung Brand PSU: 1000W TF Skywind Intl. RGB Concerning the RAM, I had a pair of dual channel 2x16GB Kingston Fury 5600MHz, but was not on the MOBO QVL list. I have been using the Corsair stick ever since, for trouble shooting. I made sure to put the single Corsair Dominator into the DIMMA2 slot- according to the user guide. Similarly, when using the 2x16GB Kingston Fury, I used the DIMMA2 and DIMMB2 slots- again, according the user guide. No success. I have tried Flashing BIOS with USB stick; Flash is successful, but PC won't BOOT. Can't get a display, tried reapplying thermal paste, resocketing CPU, DRAM, removing everything except PSU, CPU, RAM and MOBO; still doesn't work. Integrated graphics on the CPU should have created a display even without the GPU, but no success. It appeared that some of the pins on the CPU SOCKET (on the MOBO) were bent; I carefully put them back in shape, testing before and after this. Online resources said a couple bent SOCKET pins would not affect conductivity. I have reset CMOS multiple times, reuploading latest BIOS. Has worked more times than not. Otherwise, I've been stuck for weeks. The PC turns on- RBG fans and RAM light up- but no BOOT. I have tried exchanging PSUs- previously I was using the CORSAIR CX750 RGB. I am aware the TF Skywind is a terrible PSU, but it's working for now and I just want this to work. The only thing that has changed is that occasionally the BOOT and VGA LEDs will light up as well, sometimes turning OFF the CPU LED. I have no idea why this happens. Pins are as follows: 8 pin connector to CPU ATX to MOBO 2 separate Daisy 8 pins to GPU- I made sure to not connected 8pins on the daisies, there are two 8 pins running from PSU to CPU PLEASE HELP ME
These options are incorrect. One bent pin can stop the system from starting. It’s not certain; some pins in the socket aren’t essential, but many would block operation if missing. It seems like the motherboard is nonfunctional. If it came with bent pins, it probably had a tough journey before you and likely isn’t working. Hope you get your refund!
