You're facing some tricky issues with your new PC setup. It sounds like the power supply is getting connected to the motherboard, but most components aren't activating as expected. You've already tried several changes—reinstalling the CPU, updating the PSU, adjusting RAM placement, swapping the GPU, and even replacing the motherboard. Despite these efforts, you're still missing basic signals like the Q-code, display, fan spin, and boot-up indicator. It might help to double-check all connections, especially the PSU and motherboard power cables, and ensure they're secure. Also, verify that your BIOS is set to recognize the correct components. If you're still stuck, consider reaching out to MSI support or a community forum for further guidance. Good luck with your project!

Was das Umschalten erfolgreich umgesetzt? Das hängt davon ab, was funktioniert und was nicht. Meine Vorstellung ist, dass wenn der Motherboard-Wechsel funktioniert, das andere möglicherweise nicht funktioniert. Solltest du also einen neuen Wechseln oder einfach eine andere Variante ausprobieren? EDIT: Keine Sorge über den Baufreund

Hello, sorry to hear that. The switching didn’t work and none of your troubleshooting steps helped. The original motherboard also failed because I thought it had bent pins with discoloration, but it turned out the wrong chip was inside. The new board didn’t work either with the correct chip. I’ve repeated everything I could—checking connections, RAM, SSD, PSU, GPU, CPU reseat—and even watched many videos and read forums, but everyone seems to agree with me. I’ve already contacted ASUS and asked for a return merchandise authorization, but that would be my third motherboard and I’m hesitant. I’m not sure what’s missing, but I just don’t understand. Thanks for your help.
