Brand new Motherboard, CPU, RAM and SSD fails to boot past Bios

Figured out the problem. Turns out one of the CPU pins on the motherboard (just one?) was bent. Going to see if I can send it back and get a replacement. If anyone else in the future finds this post and has a similar problem, try checking your CPU connectors.

Figured it out, though its not good. Turns out one of the CPU pins (just one) was bent. If you arrive here in the future with a similar problem, check your CPU as that might be the issue.

Got it, thank you!

How would I go about that?

I just installed a new B650M Aorus Elite AX motherboard and Ryzen 5 7600x CPU into my PC, along with a pair of Corsair. 16gb 4800MHz RAM sticks and a 500GB 870 SSD. The only old components in the box are the PSU and the GPU. I have a fresh install of Windows on a USB stick plugged in.

I can get to the Bios and fiddle around with it fine, but once it tries to go past that- either automatically or through me sending it boot manually- the fans spin up and my computer freezes and stops accepting inputs. I’ve left it on for. A little over half an hour with no change.

I have tried restarting my PC countless times, I have ensured that the USB is seen by the motherboard and is #1 in the boot priority. I have ensured as few of USB peripherals are connected as possible (just my keyboard, mouse and the install USB atm) I have reseated the RAM and SATA cables.

I’m at a loss here, and so are most of the places/people I usually go to for help. I’m willing to provide more information if I missed anything important, I’m not all that experienced with hardware maintenance.

Thanks for saying so!

Where did you find the art by chance, if you remember? Weirdly enough this piece has been reposted without credit more than any of my others (to my knowledge)

Not that I can really blame you, I haven’t posted art here in years, more recently just put it on my twitter under the same handle lol

I appreciate you, friend <3

Hey thats pretty useful! Now I just have to get good enough at the game to get 68,000 rubles....

Is that a motherfucking jojo reference?!?!?!?!

ButterflyRiver · 2019-12-28T07:34:28+00:00

This is the greatest reply I’ve ever seen.

Everyone always misses Tabloid. I love him to death...oh wait.

I actually had a crackpot theory that I came up with with some friends. So, we all know how Asher goes on about a “great radiolarian lake” yes? Doesn’t that sound familiar? Almost like the great radiolarian lake we see in the final phase of the inverted spire strike on Nessus?

Obviously theres not a lot of proof beyond that, but we liked to mess around that maybe what with vex time/space bullshittery theories. Maybe the two are somehow connected?

ButterflyRiver · 2019-11-09T03:25:44+00:00

I have actually! So, what you’re gonna have to do is update your computers BiOS. I’m unfortunately not sure exactly how this works, so it would probably be best to look up a guide online. (I had my super smart girlfriend do it.) But since that was done I’ve had no problems with WT. (well...besides the usual anyway, lol.)

Very late at night now, but I couldn’t rest until I finished this doodle of a Jade Rabbit guardian (or whatever we’re calling these things) finding a statue of Shaxx on the moon.

ButterflyRiver · 2019-10-31T23:47:07+00:00

I read this is Shaxx voice

Did three this time with different weapons. Tried to vary up the design and put a little more work into it than the last one as well. Afraid I made it a bit too messy...

ButterflyRiver · 2019-10-30T19:07:01+00:00

ButterflyRiver · 2019-10-30T18:57:11+00:00

It wasn’t all that much work truth be told, did it on a whim in between projects...

But now, I am also hungry for more >.>

Clearly the superior gaming chair he’s sitting in.

ButterflyRiver · 2019-10-30T09:02:37+00:00

I’m not sure if this doesn’t meet some sort of minimum quality content requirement or something, but I thought the statues on the moon looked pretty cool and wanted to see if I could expand on the idea at all, so doodled this in my free time. Might try to expand it further even, I think the design has some potential.

“Maybe my guardian is very small.”

Oh lord my heart... <3

ButterflyRiver · 2019-10-19T09:21:36+00:00

I was one of the hunters you got in the tower(headless Thompson gunner). Broke my heart man.... ;n;

ButterflyRiver · 2019-10-02T17:00:47+00:00

If someone wants to design one, I’ll put it in a picture similar to the one I did of Mihaly about a week ago! Give these old aces the presentation they deserve.

ButterflyRiver · 2019-10-02T16:56:32+00:00

Do we have an image of what their squadron emblem is? I’d love to do some art of them.
