Can't get PC to Post GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE
I just bought all new components for a build and can't get it to post. I first thought it was bad or incompatible memory, but through troubleshooting I'm pretty much ruled it out. I'm reaching out here to see what else I might try. Here are the components.
- GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
- CORSAIR - VENGEANCE RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz C36
- Originally tried this memory: Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400
- SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280
- GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB
- MONTECH CENTURY II - 850W - 80 Plus Gold & Cybenetics Platinum
The memory light on the mobo stays on, no matter what I've tired. The memory is in the DDR5_A2 and DDR5_B2.
I first purchased the Patriot memory and when it didn't work, I tested in another system and that system booted. However, just in case it was a compatibility issue, I bought the Corsair as it is specifically on the mobo compatibility list. But the light still won't go off.
I've tried one stick of memory, and two, and still nothing. No change.
I flashed the BIOS using Qflash+. The USB stick is formatted in FAT32 (it's an older 128 MB, yep) stick. I renamed the file to gigabyte.bin as well. The qflash light was blinked for a while then went out. But then when I tried to turn on the PC, nothing shows up.
I've left the PC in boot mode for over close to 30 minutes in hopes it was a memory training issue. And still no change.
Is there anything else I can try, or would it be a bad mobo? Or something else.
This isn't my first build and maybe I've been lucky, but I've never had this much trouble before. Thanks for the help.
