Hello

Sys: cpu ryzen1600x , mb:AX370 gaming 5 , 2x gtx9704g, ram 2x8gb 8pack dark pro 3200mhz,
1x ssd 1x hdd , psu corsair xh1200i
In short today after playing around ram trimings after cpu stock 3.6ghz at auto vcore soc 1.05v dram 1.35v rest on auto LLC and VLC set on standard so after a bsod cased by test restart sys entering in bios and when decided to finish for today just pick my xmp 3200mhz and do save set restart to pc didnt boot even to show bios... just remain switch on all leds all fans runing but no boot no post even didnt blinking from ssd led so just preset again restart and same wtf... well the only think that's telling me there is some wrong is led display at bottom with 4 leds so after any press on restart its come up checks for second light ram then change to cpu light and remain with code 54 in manual is write " Memory initialization error "
So board is like brick now but not suare is it really a mobo or dram sticks are dead or cpu .... also no aignal of gpus they just light and spin there fans... trying already cmos clear resiting components etc... same issue... backup bios same just is like there make a this sound for trying boot but remain with same code 54 at end.
Is there a way to understand is really some hardware is dead or have dome other solutions at this....
 
Already try it clearing CMos , dual bios and give same result no boot no bios ....
Cannot boot no post ....if some one know way how to found exactly what isnt work will be good start..
This video is not mine but my mb do exactly same

No work with 1 stick swap slots , gpus swap just 1 gpu always same no boot nothing just power on leds on board leds on fans on and small display thath shows codes also ssd was a primary drive windows 10 but also didnt blinking for second so again at manual says code 54 is Memory initialization error. Error come like this way turning on blinking led RAM then go off led and staying led on at cpu showing 54
 
Yeah is same just in my case led-on is remaim at cpu with same code 54 ram led flash 2-3 times for about 1sec duration at power on ... so after all gonna need new board is it?
 
Unfortunately dont have another ram to test ...otherwise yesterday almosy whole day trying different solutions almost everything what i can found about in network and no result so about a memory dont belive is it problem even if is boths sticks to failure is sound like to hit jackpot and also have trying with out ram boot in practi only think that i dont have do is to take out mb of chassi... and now when back will give a trying this from morning battery is out and unplugged from socket so just gonna make short at battery holder and will try boot with out ram and with out battery so will see after 40mins ....
Btw how is working rma need to contact to gigabyte aorus or to shop of which is bought also i think still keep receipt mb is around half year old...

After new set of trying again no luck its remain same now just after battery was whole day out unplug remain to this position no stuck of code but still no post....
Well tomorow gonna start work on rma so do i need to write first to customers support at gigabyte pasport or ... for first time i have dead mb....
 
Ok.
I just received email from support team and they tell me to contact with them for rma so just will write to them again and what should wait for instructions where to send board or i could even go to there office if it working at Saturday/tommorow..
I saw your post Orcvader and there is a guy who assist you but can't contact with him... in worst case im gonna need traveling to Manchester aria pc
 
Already as i saying have try everything that i could found in network for bios restoration... so for me no luck its nvm what gonna switch to main or second noting is work :( gonna try now this with usb but just for self cannot explain how gonna working this method..its sound like redirection..but will try it now.
Yep also this with holding power button already give trying ( its work like this pc is Off push on and hold it its take around 6-10secons to turn self off then pres again to go on /also this when is started just press resett button hold it for 10sec and bios reset to default)
The only method that i do not even thinks to do is with manual remove bios chip or what ever was called and this with shorting same bios chip pin 1 and 6 this for me 100% warranty throw in bin... or even realy to work should be make it of some one who really know what exactly doing...
Again about this with usb , from day 1 i have start use this board never have been moved bios switches to position 2 till day before yesterday...
Also most of codes thats are shown at red display they are like regulars codes for normal work of mb this should mean cpu its trying yo communicate with ram or im wrong also some of codes are starting proces of North bridge etc.... the problem is this code A9 which mean Bios is starting dont exist like someting is deleted this comand so pc just cycle in one place buy following comands and when come to bios start and didnt find it going again ( this is what showing display for me )

After take my board back at which way to go 1st to install windows 10 and then last bios f22 or could update bios then go installing windows...and the problem with amd achi driver's is still same install during windows installation?
 
Ok so already have usb with win10 but there was some kind of problem before even in bios to be sellect achi after installing os and going to device manager at controller its was called "microsoft achi standard" and was required manually install of amd achi controller ...but at least im 100% sure there was some problem that required manual install updates drivers...just don't remember how its needed to do it.
