When I look at this thread, I completely forgot I had this isssue when I bought the system and its very possible I have another dead PSU again on my hands.

Theoretically, if I have a dead CPU, will the booard still illuminate the Power and Reset quick buttons on the actual board and give me a error code? As I don't get both.

At first I was thinking maybe my CPU is dead, but perhaps the PSU...again?

It's rare but it happens

Glad you got it sorted in the end, enjoy the system ]]> Tue, 24 Dec 2019 23:23:15 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71449&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71449 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71447&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71447 Author: theoperator

Hi guys.

It was actually a dead PSU. Imagine that. A Seasonic DOA.

Thanks.]]> Tue, 24 Dec 2019 22:45:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71447&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71447 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71267&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71267 Author: theoperator

I don't get any error code taking the CPU out of it, as well as the video card as well.

This is definitely the case; that it seems like a dead board?

When I updated the firmware it will flash the ERR lcd but it goes straight off with the rest.

I will try removing the CPU if it will at least give me that then. If it does the same and you say will give me an error code; then it will be the board.

This time of the year sucks due to Xmas and getting exchange or RMA etc.

Thanks for the reply btw.]]> Wed, 18 Dec 2019 18:50:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71264&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71264 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71262&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71262 Author: gizmic

Thanks. I did that but unfortunately have the same issue :(

It did finish the flashback and to no avail it just wont initiate POST.

I will try reseating the CPU for the 3rd time then.]]> Wed, 18 Dec 2019 16:30:44 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71259&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71259 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71243&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71243 Author: Ray62

Hi, I have just looked on my board and it says the defaul bios is 1.70 (I think) and it says for 3950 on this link that it needs to be 2.10 and above? Would this be why its not initiating POST?

https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Taichi/#BIOS

So only way to get it to work is by getting my hands on an older AM4 cpu?

Thanks.]]> Wed, 18 Dec 2019 05:38:45 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71241&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71241 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71172&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71172 Author: theoperator

Thanks a lot for the reply. I am heading to bed now so I will give those a try tomorrow. I was thinking of disassembling and rebuilding it. Though I do not have much connected and I redone the CPU anyway.

The CPU cable I am using is correct and the CPU pins I checked and were ok. I have two sticks of ram and all slots and sticks did it but I will try with none.

Going to see if I can get my hands on an older Ryzen CPU to see if I can cancel that out.

Thanks will let you know how I go.]]> Tue, 17 Dec 2019 05:34:00 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13153&PID=71172&title=taichi-570-not-even-getting-an-err-code#71172
