MSI x470 Gaming Plus - red VGA light on

[Superseal]

Hi, I have a red vga light on my MB and the pc won't post.

I recently upgraded my Ram fromm Hyperx 3200mhz 2x8gb to Kingston Fury Renagade 3200mhz 2x16gb.

The PC was working fine on Saturday as I was playing Star Citizen for about four hours, turned it on this morning, no post, just red vga light on.


I looked at the underside of my GPU and noticed that a cable was preventing one of the three fans on the GPU from spinning.

I've tried: -

1. resetting cmos both with jumper and button on MB

2. unplugging all usb and other perifs, keyboard, mouse etc.

3. Trying different working sticks of ram. I recently upfraded my memory.

4. Tried a working vga card (1050ti) from son's pc, which didn't work in mine either (in both the usual graphics VGA slot and another PCI slot.

5. Tried diffrent output cables to monitor, display adapter, HDMI.

6. Tried re-seating card numberous times.

My system is : -


x470 Gaming Plus

rx580 8gb graphics card

2 x 16gb ingston Fury Renagade 3200mhz

Corsair HX520w PSU

Can anyone help me please? I'd really appreciate it, Cheers, Nick

The Fact you've used two different GPU's and used both slots available on your board with no response, makes me think the issue lies there with the slots?!

Thanks for gettting back to me, someone mentioned that it might be my PSU and that it's underpowered for my GPU, so I might upgrade that first, what do you think?

Yeah possibly, how long have you had the PSU? could be faulty and not sending enough power to the GPU... Have you got another PSU or have you got to take the chance and order another one

If it can't POST with a 1050Ti I don't think it's be the PSU. They draw motherboard power only right.

Have you disconnected and reconnected all PSU cables at any end they connect i.e. motherboard and PSU?

Good point, no I haven't, I'll do that before ordering a new PSU, thank.
