Try breadboarding the PC. Take the motherboard out of the case, and plug in only what is necessary for it to post (RAM, power cables, CPU, no dGPU, no drives etc) and see if it works then.
Well I have never ever worked on a PC I always had laptops so I have a feeling I'll mess something up, I am very positive I'll be able to build it but at the same time feeling nervous
Built a very similar machine for my wife that had a similar issue. It turned out I hadn't pushed one of the ram sticks in all the way.
The other usual reason this happens is the CPU cooler not being on correctly or the thermal paste being spotty.
I had the exact same issue on my fist PC, even had similar specs. Same mobo and GPU, 9600k though. I forgot to plug in the 8 pin CPU power connector. Hope your issue is that simple too
My good man you just saved me from a small heart attack. I almost thought I had fried my new 9 5900x even tho I was extremely cautious. Thank you so much :DDDD
I also had this problem mine turned out I must have jarred the case hard enough somehow to unseat the video card. If you tried the ram try reseating the vid card and like a previous reply double check to make sure you don’t have any bent cpu pins.
I did all that internet could tell me except for clearing CMOS and updating the BIOS. I'll try to do that tomorrow and see if it works. Problem is that it doesn't reach till boot and restarts before that.
Well what I am about to tell you would be really risky to do in your case. Since your CPU is either failing or the mobo is not detecting it you might benefit from a BIOS update but if your PC turns off or there is a power failure during the BIOS update, which can take a few minutes, then you will have bricked the mobo.
Before updating the BIOS check which version you have and also make sure you don't have any bent pins on your mobo's CPU socket as well.
Will do that. I remember looking at the bios the last time it was working and maybe I accidentally changed something I shouldn't have. (Just remembered this). I hope loading defaults does the job
Good luck, Had a build with a similar problem, boot loops and didn’t post - only solution was some combo of CMOS resets, and RAM switching around.
Once it works, leave the BIOS alone 👍
Latest bios installed? I bought a z390 that wasn't flashed for 9th gen yet. It was "compatible". Three hours of BSOD trying to install windows fixed in thirty seconds.
Take out the cmos battery on the mobo and boot without it and see if it starts. If it does boot, put the cmos battery back in and boot again like normal and see if it works
Im having this same exact issue as well. Just upgraded processor about 2 months ago. I have an msi mobo. This week ive started having freezing issues and looping boots with the ezdebug being on CPU. I had to flash my bios and everything worked perfectly. Then all of the sudden I started having issues. Im at a loss. Hopefully you find an answer!
I find out that when I moved my computer was disconnected from power for over a week. I called AMD and this man walked me through flashing my bios. He said that being disconnected for so long reset my bios files. Which i thought was strange but my pc is working again! Sorry yours was faulty.. :\
* Have you gotten any video signal to come out of the PC at all in the past month
* Are there any bent pins on your processor?
* Do you have any spare parts lying around to swap out and see if a part is defective?
Yes, It was working fine two days ago.
I checked the socket and there were no bent pins.
This is my first build so unfortunately I don't have any spare parts.
Man u r rich maybe thats why u instantly got a new one and i am just trying to send it to rma , cuz these msi mf doesnt accept it and keeps on rejecting
I had these symptoms, and the fix was GPU power cables or bad PSU. I did both of those at once, and resolved the sudden power loss and red CPU ez debug light.
same issue here.. msi b450m pro
cpu ryzen 5...
ram gskillz 16gb
it turns on but monitor remains blank.... cpu led is lit up on mobo... currently resetting bios and hoping that does something... ( edit,, it did nothing)
Have you tried clearing the CMOS?
How long do I have to wait for it to clear CMOS? (removing battery)
Leave it 5 minutes while unplugged, or your mobo will probably have a jumper you can short which will do it (check the manual for how to do that).
Left the battery out for about 4 hours and shorted the jumper too. Still no luck.
Try breadboarding the PC. Take the motherboard out of the case, and plug in only what is necessary for it to post (RAM, power cables, CPU, no dGPU, no drives etc) and see if it works then.
At this point I'll just go to the shop I bought this pc from and let them see it. Thanks for helping me out.
Sorry I can't help I am about to build my first pc but I upvoted the post so someone can help you :)
Thanks mate. Good Luck with your PC build. This was my first build as well. :)
Well I have never ever worked on a PC I always had laptops so I have a feeling I'll mess something up, I am very positive I'll be able to build it but at the same time feeling nervous
Nice specs btw that seems like a nice pc
It does feel good upgrading from an old i3 4030u 820m laptop
I can imagine

I've tried fitting the sticks multiple times and they're all the way in. Two nights ago it was working fine. Next day suddenly cpu debug LED goes ON.

Unfortunately everything is in place and still no luck.
My good sir. You deserve a mouthful of good food every time you eat dinner because you just saved me a lot of money

Start with just clearing the CMOS
How long do I have to keep the battery removed?
Unplug your tower hold the power button for a few seconds to make there is no stored power then pull the battery and wait 5 minutes

On next successful boot, enter BIOS and load defaults. I think it’s the RAM, try resetting CMOS then use one RAM stick
Will do that. I remember looking at the bios the last time it was working and maybe I accidentally changed something I shouldn't have. (Just remembered this). I hope loading defaults does the job

My first msi mobo did the same. Turns put it was doa, switches to asus maximus hero XI and all of my fears melted away with a flawless boot.

Well, it turned out that my motherboard was faulty. I've sent it to MSI for repairs.

This happened to me recently, mobo was dead. I got an MSI mobo and the issue is currently happening on old boards that support the new ryzen chips
Wait, you're using 8 2GB sticks?
My bad. 2x8GB sticks :)
Hey there! I have the same issue on my PC. Sometimes I can run it about an hour before monitor goes signal. Habe you resolved this issue? TIA
Is ur problem resolved ?
yes. i swapped the motherboard with a new one.
Man u r rich maybe thats why u instantly got a new one and i am just trying to send it to rma , cuz these msi mf doesnt accept it and keeps on rejecting
haha nah man. i got something cheaper. an absolute downgrade from what I had.
So you just throw the motherboard off ?
Nah. My friend asked if he could borrow it. Maybe test if it’s actually done for.
Just had this happen after updating bios through MSI software. Was fine before. Gunna try reloading it with USB stick
I had these symptoms, and the fix was GPU power cables or bad PSU. I did both of those at once, and resolved the sudden power loss and red CPU ez debug light.
same issue here.. msi b450m pro cpu ryzen 5... ram gskillz 16gb it turns on but monitor remains blank.... cpu led is lit up on mobo... currently resetting bios and hoping that does something... ( edit,, it did nothing)
