Well, a rare occasion where the bad part was not from ASRock! Color me surprised.

Anyhow, thanks for posting back the update!

Enjoy your new build!]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2019 06:42:15 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=60461&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#60461 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=60460&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#60460 Author: Andy_Geo

After all that effort, I have finally solved it. It was the video card. A MSI 2080 X Trio 8gb, which I have received dead from the factory. It has been resent to service, and they managed to fix it, somehow. I'd preferred they changed it for a new one. But still, I am happy to be having a fully functioning computer. Thanks for all your help! ]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2019 03:18:48 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=60460&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#60460 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59308&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59308 Author: Andy_Geo

Thanks for the ideas, maybe I'll try that, but first, I think I'll check each component, individually, just to be sure of a potential certain RMA.

Yes, ASRock's beta BIOS are often better (new features, BUG FIXES, more stable, etc.) than their 'stable' ones. Makes sense, right?

Remember - always clear CMOS, reboot and then flash the new BIOS. Then reboot and clear CMOS again.

I've had my fair share of 1st hand experience before I dumped my X370 Taichi. It was a monster of a board but I had it with their BIOS releases. Almost 2 years with 0 progress where it matters.

Hm, it's what I'm thinking, as well. It's probably the motherboard.
I've flashed the BIOS, to the latest stable BIOS release. There is a slightly newer BIOS update, but it is only BETA (for extreme performance bla bla). Not really sure if I should try putting on a BETA BIOS.
Do you have any experience with any BETA BIOS?]]> Wed, 26 Dec 2018 22:04:00 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59299&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59299 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59298&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59298 Author: xhue

Sad, indeed. After so much poking around and swap of so many components, I think it is the mobo after all.

Before you ship the mobo back for RMA, can you try BIOS recovery flash with the latest version, being it even a beta? Check both JZ's site and ASRock's for the most recent version, then check your manual for the exact steps.]]> Wed, 26 Dec 2018 20:53:12 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59298&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59298 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59297&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59297 Author: Andy_Geo

Thanks for the reply.
1. I already tried it with only 1 stick of ram. Did not change anything. But when I did manage to enter the UEFI, for a short period of time, I could see all my 4 ram sticks detected properly, so I don't think the RAM is the problem, right?
2. I tried 2 GPUs (out of which the older, I know FOR SURE is working, because it's the one I'm using on the older setup, while writing this very second), in 3 out of the 4 PCI Express Slots (the 4th one is too low, and thick GPUs don't fit there, because of the power supply shroud)
3. I checked the pins, they look alright. I reseated the CPU 5-6 times already, and got no change.
4. Unfortunately, I have no other PSU (this powerful, anyway), at the moment, but the computer fans are spinning and the RGB lights are turning on, so some power is definitely being delivered to the setup..
Any other ideas?
I'm thinking that, considering that I did see the CPU for a short while (until I changed boot settings in UEFI), the CPU does function. Also, I saw all 4 sticks of RAM, and managed to enable XMP2.0, to get the RAM to 3200Mhz, and they ran at that speed, so I guess the RAM is also good?. So, I'm trying to isolate the problem, and right now, I am thinking that the motherboard may be problem?]]> Wed, 26 Dec 2018 19:46:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59297&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59297 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59276&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59276 Author: xhue

Don't be disappointed with you! TR and X399 platform is not a novice friendly. I've seen experienced guys cry over similar issues.

1. Leave only 1 stick of RAM. Double-check if it is seated right. DDR4 are tricky! Try booting with just 1 stick - if nothing changes, change the stick and/or RAM slot.

2. 2 GPUs dead in a row? Tough chance. Try another PCIe slot.

3. Always worth it to re-check the CPU seating and the socket pins.

4. Try another PSU or cabling if possible.

Best of luck!]]> Wed, 26 Dec 2018 09:29:42 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59276&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59276 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10511&PID=59263&title=2950x-asrock-x399-fatal1ty-gaming-no-boot#59263 Author: Andy_Geo
