The Gigabyte X570 AORUS Master fails to power up.
The Gigabyte X570 AORUS Master fails to power up.
I constructed the system last year and it functioned properly until the previous Friday. I tried turning it on after updating the GPU drivers, but nothing worked the night before. Sometimes the motherboard lights would flicker but after pressing the start button they would extinguish and no boot occurred. I reset the GPU, power cables, changed the PSU, removed the motherboard from the case with the RAM CPU M.2 drive and power cables, but it still didn’t work. I also removed the RAM, M.2 slot, and CPU and haven’t managed to test them separately. I’m unsure if the board is dead or if there’s another step I should take before submitting an RMA. Windows 10 64-bit, F11 BIOS version. System specs: PCPartPicker.

Check if MoBo is fully inactive or if a debug message appears.
Received the RMA approval and it’s being returned. Curious if the store will inform you about the board’s status.
It happened recently too. I bought an X570 Aorus Master in April 2020. It wouldn’t power on last week—no lights on the CMOS or the Mobo button. I thought the PSU was bad, so I replaced it with a new Corsair HX 1200. Still had the same problem, even with fresh cables. I tried a cheap $5 jumper bridge and it worked! Then I read an article and removed the CMOS battery behind the second GPU, waited two minutes, then put it back. It fixed it. What a hassle.
