x370 Killer SLI/ac Issues

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm struggling with my first PC build.  When I turn on the PC, I get flashing red lights under the chipset, power for 20-30 seconds, and then it shuts off and starts again.  

Here are the solutions I've tried so far that haven't worked:

-Using different PSU
-Using different RAM slots
-Using different compatible CPU
-Removing and replacing CMOS battery

Here's my build:

CPU - Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core
MOBO- x370 Killer SLI/ac ATX AM4
Memory - G.Skill Aegis 2 x 8GB
Storage - Team MS30 512 GB M.2-2280 SSD
Video Card - XFX Radeon RX 580 8GB
Power Supply - Corsair TXM Gold 650 W

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks

	my first question is ........ is this 'another' bargain newegg deal? we've had a few similar problems lately with these boards from newegg being NEW--- 'old stock' and thus dont have a recent bios flash to support the 3rd gen cpus which is what threedee is thinking above ^ look on your mainboard for a small chip with a sticker on it saying something like v1.6/ v2.0 etc it tells you the bios version you may even be facing the case that this 'new' board still has a bios on it that will only work with ryzen 1200/1300/1700/1800 etc etc and you need an early cpu to be able to boot and flash a newer bios version also to note the aegis ram isnt very promising to be trouble free and run its xmp on that board (it dosnt really like AM4 too much)

	As Datonyb suggested, make sure the board has a compatible BIOS version. Also make sure your RAM is fully seated into the slots, we often see issues like yours where the RAM isn't all the way into the slot.
