Hi all, I'm here looking for help.
As title says, I built a new pc a week ago, now it is failing to boot, the led alternates between CPU (like 3-4 seconds) and DRAM (just a short flash).
It happened after I restarted from Windows, bios/oc settings had not been changed in that session.
I had installed a big CPU cooler like 30 minutes before but the PC behaved just fine up until that moment, and the idle CPU temp was about 10c lower compared to stock.
I tried putting the stock cooling back, booting with only one stick of memory in all of the slots, reseated the CPU, cleared the CMOS with a jumper as well, even bought another DDR4 stick just to see if the memory was damaged, all to no effect.
Here's the specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Gaming Ultra X470
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 2x4GB (CMK8GX4M2B3000C15)
Storage: WD Black NVMe 250GB (WDS250G2X0C)
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING
PSU: OCZ ModXstream-Pro 600w
OS: Windows 10 Home x64
The cpu was running at 3.85GHz (100*38.5) and the mem was going at 3200 using XMP timings.
System had been stable so far, I had only gamed a bit and used prime95 for a few minutes with it so far though.
Stock cooling was good while gaming (about 50-55c max) but not for stress testing, I was manually canceling when the temp went over 70c, which it did every time within a few minutes.
Please advise on what can be attempted to get this system to boot before I have to get another motherboard.
