just for those that may experience the same issue.

I installed the water cooler and didn't notice it was covering the power conn for the CPU on the motherboard - so didnt notice it. there are 2 conn for the motherboard, the wide one called ATXPWR1 in the manual and a another one called ATX12V - both must be connected for things to work.

Silly mistake, but this is what happens when you're too eager to get everything hooked up quickly and miss a simple step in the process :)

I see the debug codes progress now. time to add everything back in and test.

installed a new Taichi Lite MB w i7-13700K CPU, water cooler, 2xDDR5, power comes on, fans spin, when I press power button on MB debug code never goes past 00.

removed everything, reseat CPU tried again w no DDR5 mem and still same - stuck on 00, doesn't cycle to any other debug code

tried brand new i3-12100F to see if possibly CPU - same situation.. wont progress past 00

could it be a defective MB? dont see any bent pins, any suggestions on what to do next?

did several builds, never encountered this - stuck at step1 :(

thanks for any guidance or suggestions!   ]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2025 03:25:36 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=110899&PID=195836&title=taichi-lite-stuck-on-00-debug-code#195836
