Recent installation, white CPU indicator remains active on the motherboard, no further action needed.
Hey there! I worked on my latest setup this evening and still can't get it to boot. I've tried updating the BIOS through Bios Flashback to support my 5700X3D, but once installed it powers up again with the lights still on. Some folks suggest removing the CPU and all other components except the CPU and the 24-pin M.2 slot, then re-flashing. Others mention checking the CMOS battery or resetting it. I've also flashed several of the newest BIOS versions one by one, saving them as MSI.ROM but not getting a response. The system shows it loaded, but my display and CPU light remain unresponsive. All connectors are secure, the cooler spins but only the fan does, and the white light stays on. I'm hoping this isn't a common issue and would really appreciate any advice or help when I can. Thanks in advance!
Update to the situation: I am currently tinkering with the PC. I updated the bios as the compatible bios for my CPU via the MSI website. Now when I boot the PC on, instead of the CPU indicator, the white DRAM indicator is popping up. I have tried to reseat the ram, try it in different slots to no avail. I am currently trying to reset my CMOS but I'm unclear on how to do so. I know the computer has a jumper but it doesn't seem like the CMOS clip doesn't pull back to remove the battery. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
