PC suddenly won’t POST
Hi, my computer won’t start. I’ve tried a few troubleshooting steps but nothing works. I’ve had this machine for about a year without any problems until now. I just returned from work and discovered this problem.
Details: When powering on, the CPU indicator flashes briefly (on the motherboard EZDebug LEDs) for half a second, then the DRAM light activates and stays lit until the system restarts every few minutes repeatedly. There’s no monitor output, and I can’t access the BIOS.
I’ve swapped out the motherboard already, and after replacing the RAM sticks it’s still the same. I also tried updating the BIOS, but the system powers on and then shuts off quickly—lights stay on but there’s no post.
There are no bent pins on the CPU (it’s a Ryzen AM5 model so flat) and the problem continues whether the GPU is installed or not.
I’m hoping someone can suggest other solutions before replacing the CPU. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
These components do not work together.
With a 5800X, there is no integrated GPU, so without a separate graphics card it won't function.
