PC wont post. EDIT Cpu stuck at base clocks

djshauny1 · 18 Apr 2024 at 06:49

Hi everyone. I built a new pc. 7600x, b650 gaming x ax v2, corsair 2x16gb vengeance ddr5, corsair 850e modular psu, gigabyte rtx 2060.

All was working well. But I left the PC on and had to pop out. I returned and the PC was off. I tried turning it on and nothing.

The DRAM light is on and I can't get passed it. Been trying g to get this to post for hours now and nothings worked at all.

I've tried the following..

Reseating the cpu

Removed the gpu and tested with another card and integrated graphics.

Tested each stick in every slot and left for at least 30 mins incase of training.

Updated the bios using q-flash plus

Cleared cmos

Removed everything from the board except cpu, ram, cooler and psu.

Could both sticks really of went at the exact same time? Or could it be cpu/memory controller related?

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

I’d probably start with re building the basics out side of the case, just the cpu, cooler, 1 stock of ram. Just to have a base line.

From there sadly if still not working, might have to troubleshoot the ram first, then the cpu then the board I guess.

Have you verified no bent pins etc. in the socket?

Yeah its out of the case and still doing the same.

Socket looks good to me.

Could It be the power supply?

Is the ram on the approved list for your mobo?

Make sure the RAM is firmly seated as well, not just to the click, but firmly in.

Sounds like you've done most of what you can already. It's likely a dead Motherboard or PSU

Just tested in a brand new board and getting the same error.

Any other ideas chaps?

Faulty ram, faulty CPU?

Proper rubbish situation to be in

my bet is on the CPU IMC that has gone kaput
CPU RMA time

Yeah I'm starting to lean towards that mate tbh. Cheers

its not even funny that your probably right.
the AMD, RAM thing is a massive problem

probably SOC voltage cooking the chip

Was the cpu. Used my friends and posted like normal.

Thanks everyone. Time to order a new cpu.

Excellent, good job you had a friend's to try. Without additional spares it's difficult to pinpoint which bit is the failed bit

Hi chaps.

Temps were getting 95c with auto cpu voltage settings so I tried to lower the temps by reducing the cpu vcore. when I try to lower the CPU vcore voltage, the CPU no longer boosts and stays at base clocks. I've gone as high as 1.4v but the issue remains and wont go any higher than 4.7ghz. I've tried enabling pbo with both auto, motherboard and manual limits, ppt, edc etc etc.. Also tried setting core performance boost to on, expo/xmp on and off also.

Been looking online all night for a solution but everything suggested doesn't work.

The CPU will only boost when the CPU vcore is set to auto and nothing else.

Is there a setting I'm missing here?

Cheers
