Possible CPU connection harm might stop startup process.
Hi chat! Here’s a revised version of your message:
Hi there! Let's start with my system details: CPU is a Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, motherboard is Asus Rog Zenith Extreme TR4, RAM is G.Skill Trident Neo 3000MHz 32GB C16 (not in QVL but not my top worry), PSU is EVGA SUPANOVA 1300 G2, and BIOS is 2601. I’ve noticed some startup problems after installing the new CPU. My current configuration is listed above, and I also have another RAM kit (G.Skill Ripjaws 2800MHz DDR4 32GB C16), which isn’t in QVL either. That’s not my main issue, though—I think there might be a damaged or unstable contact pad on the middle section of the CPU. When I power it on, the DRAM error lights up and the system keeps cycling through codes until it reaches 00 and says “detect memory.” Changing the slot layout doesn’t seem to help. I’m curious if the CPU needs replacing or if the RAM is the problem.
It seems you're checking if the solution worked with a single memory stick.
I would gently touch it using a tiny tweezer or needle to eliminate the buildup.
