Hi,

I've just finished building the following:

ASRock AB350M PRO4 motherboard black
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16 - VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz C16
Corsair RM650x
Samsung (MZ-V6E500BW) 500GB EVO M.2
Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 1070 Ti 8GB Founders Edition
Corsair Air 240 Case
Corsair Hydro H60 Liquid CPU Cooler - Black

Unforuanely, the PC won't post, everything powers on correctly but nothing displays on the screen.

The PC then powers down after about 30 seconds and then powers up again. It gets stuck in this loop.

I've re-seated the RAM, tried with one stick of RAM, no sticks of RAM, without the GPU, with the GPU. Re-seated the CPU.

I've now removed the CMOS battery and set the CMOS pins to clear. Going to leave it like this for a few hours now.

If this doesn't work, what should I do next?
 
No luck on the CMOS reset. Still does the same.

If I remove the CPU power cable from the Motherboard, the powe looping stops. What could that mean?!?
 
Yes RAM in the correct slots. Have cleared the CMOS multiple times now.

Have tried RAM in all slots, tried with just one stick too.

Have tried booting without RAM but loop continues.

The only time it doesn’t loop is when I remove the CPU power cable from mobo. Have tried reseating CPU too.

Feel like I’m running out of options?
 
Unfortunately the case or mobo does not come with a speaker

Thing is it still loops with RAM installed or removed!

The confusing thing is the fact the looping stops when the CPU power cable is removed from mobo...
 
Same thing I’m afraid. Just constant looping.

Going to send it back and order a different make mobo. Probably an ASUS. Never touching ASRock again.
 
Yeah cleared the CMOS jumper with PSU off. Also removed mobo battery, leaving it out for a few hours.

According to the BIOS number printed on the board Ryzen 5 should work.
