OMG...Ray62, you just saved me hours of troubleshooting because the Ryzen 5 3600 DOESN'T HAVE INTEGRATED GRAPHICS. I'm an idiot. I don't know how I missed this but time to get a GPU into this setup!]]> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 18:44:27 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12173&PID=66529&title=x570-pro4-am4-post-issue#66529 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12173&PID=66526&title=x570-pro4-am4-post-issue#66526 Author: Kraster

Agreed, it would be nice to have some additional parts to test with. But in this minimal config I'm testing with, I'm fairly confident in the PSU since I just pulled it out of a working setup. That leaves the memory, motherboard, and CPU...

Since the DRAM LED goes out, doesn't that mean the RAM checks out OK?]]> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 17:45:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12173&PID=66525&title=x570-pro4-am4-post-issue#66525 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12173&PID=66517&title=x570-pro4-am4-post-issue#66517 Author: Ray62

Hi,

I hope someone can help me understand what the POST LEDs / PSC LEDs on this motherboard are trying to tell me. I've built 4 PCs in the past and this is the first time I can't get a new build to POST!

I've whittled the setup down to the ASRock X570 PRO4 AM4 with only these things connected to it:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600
1 stick of Crucial memory in slot A2 (BLS8G4D32AESCK)
CPU Fan plug
8-pin CPU power
24-pin ATX power
Power switch from case

When I power on, the CPU and DRAM LEDs in the PSC light up red and are steady for a few seconds, then they flash off and BOOT lights up briefly, then finally VGA lights up and stays on steady.

So that's where I'm at. No POST with a minimal config, and the VGA LED from the PSC stuck on.

I have tried clearing the CMOS with the 2-pin jumper, with no difference in behavior.

Any other ideas or should I just RMA the board?

Any help is appreciated!]]> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 10:20:35 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12173&PID=66509&title=x570-pro4-am4-post-issue#66509
