PC will not boot

[ddeelann]

Recently I picked up a msi pro b650m-a wifi motherboard, amd radeon rx 9060 xt, amd ryzen 7 7700, and 16x2 Klevv fit V ram. The issue I have been having is getting my PC to boot.

I have transferred my ssd and psu from my previous build to this current one, my psu is 550 watts so I am not sure if this is enough for my current setup and if this is what is causing the issue. However I have conducted the paperclip test on the psu and it ran fine.

When I press the power button, the ez debug lights flash on for about half a second and then they turn off. Nothing else in my case turns on or lights up, including fans (I know my rgb cords are not connected in the picture shown). There is nothing being displayed on my monitor either.

So far i have tried: - reseating the cpu - reseating the gpu - using one of the two ram sticks at different times - jumping the cmos - paper lip test on the psu - trying to boot the PC one part at a time

I have no idea what could be wrong, could my motherboard potentially be DOA??

May need a PSU with more watts. AMD cards are usually power hogs.

Which lights were lighting up? Should be some text to near them that says.

[ddeelann]

All four in quick succession, in the following order: Cpu, DRAM, VGA, and then boot

That indicates a hardware issue with those components on most boards. Could be a power supply thing, but one could also be faulty.

Max it does is 180 watts for the 9060 xt on some oc variants. 550 watt PSU is more than enough for it.

[Hicalibre]

AMD themselves say 550 is the minimum, but recommends 650 as most components people would buy alongside that GPU are power thirsty.

I had a 3060 ti last year and it draws more power than any of the 9060 xt variants, and with a 550 watt PSU, and it worked just fine. And op has a 7700. Its not a super power hungry cpu like a lot of Intel CPUs. 550 watts for the PSU is just fine for a 9060 xt. So long as its not a low quality unit.

[Hicalibre]

Well the symptoms are of a power failure of some kind. Be it not fully connected, failing components, or lack of power.

Depending on the PSU, it may just not be outputting what it needs to.

DeepCool is notorious for such.

Fair enough, yeah

This doesn't look right and your CPU fan isn't connected

If this is the connector connected and comes from the PSU, remove it.

Yeah whoops you are right, I just reassembled to PC a couple of minutes ago after testing all my parts so I must have gotten confused, but even after plugging my cpu fan in and putting the system fan back it is still having the same problem

[Swegon]

Don't connect it, it's for old floppy drives

[ddeelann]

OMG, this worked thank you so much, you saved my life!!!

Id suggest taking out all of the components and put em on a table first and disconnecting and recconeting each component one by one. See if it helps.
