[URL=][/URL][URL=][/URL]I just put together a new machine and it is not booting. This is from my phone so my apologies in advance.
When I turn on the power an led near the sata ports lights up purple then flashing blue. When I press the power button the case and CPU fans start to spin for half a second before stopping. The led doesn't change. Any ideas?

evilben, I would suggest doing a Clear CMOS. Then try removing all but one memory stick and make sure the last one is properly seated. Make sure your CPU power cables are correctly plugged (especially 4-pin CPU) and are CPU not PCIe. PCIe are for video only. Remove all drives and try. Please let us hear. Tell us about your CPU cooler. Enjoy, John.

Thanks for the quick response.
For cooling I have a cooler master hyper t2 My case is a cooler master haf 912 if that matters. I tried your suggestion, no change. I pressed the clear cmos button on the back with the power off and the ps unplugged like it said. I also tried 2 different ram sticks, but both in the left most slot. I also unplugged my hd and disc drives from the ps and the satas on the mb I almost did the wrong power cables but noticed before I plugged it in initially. So that part at least is correct Edited by evilben - 30 Dec 2017 at 8:48am |

OK, evilben, unplug all but the CPU and one stick of memory. You will obviously not get a picture but see if it gets further. I suggest you investigate a speaker, so you can hear beep codes. I assume you do not see Debug codes. Please do try multiple memory slots with one memory stick. Next, remove the CPU and check for bent pins and thermal compound on the pins. Enjoy, John.

Still nothing. The pins we're straight and clean.
I had my speakers plugged into the back of the mb if that is what you meant, no sound. And yeah no debug codes. |

That is odd. You're getting the normal LED behavior before you press the power button.
MisterJ meant these 2-wire PC tweeters that are attaching directly to the mobo, not some external speakers. Your PSU is also well-regarded and its cable naming is among the best I've seen. Most likely you did all fine there. 2 things worry me here: RAM & GPU. 32GB RAM can prove too much for a Ryzen, IF it's clocked high enough by default. Ryzens are notorious for how picky they are when it comes to RAM. Try only 2 sticks in A2 & B2 slots. You can also put the GPU in another PCIe slot. Tripple-check GPU power as well. Try HDMI and DVI cables if you have these. CMOS clear is mandatory after each component re-seating or change. Please try this as well - get the mobo outside the chassis and try to boot/POST with the bare HW minimum. Care for a non-conductive surface to place the mobo on. |

I had already tried different pcie slots on the GPU and had made sure the power to it was good.
I tried the mb outside the case with only the CPU and 2 ram sticks in a2 b2. Same thing. Will need to go get a pic tweeter, but when I get back I'll try that as well. Where do I connect it? Clearing cmos only requires pressing the button on the back, right? I also see this clear cmos jumper thing on the mb. Do I need to short that like they describe in the manual? Tyty Ben |

You NEED to clear CMOS every time you so much as touch a component, let alone replace/re-seat it. Doing so you are forcing the mobo to enumerate all hardware again. That's a very important thing.
Clearing CMOS is best done with PSU unplugged, CMOS battery removed, CMOS jumper to CLR and press the power button for 10s to drain the capacitors. |

I cleared the cmos again like you instructed. Tried to run it with only CPU and 2 ram sticks outside the case. Same result.
Leds still coming on as soon as I switch the PSU into the on position. When I press the power button on the case the CPU fan starts to spin for a moment then stops. No changes in the leds. I don't see on the mb where to connect to tweeter nor has Google helped Ty for helping Ben Edited by evilben - 31 Dec 2017 at 2:03am |

I am assuming that one of the items in the motherboard box was the multi language Quick Installation Guide. Look at the "Motherboard Layout" diagram, item 21 "Power LED and Speaker Header SPK_PLED1". Then look at section 2.6 "Onboard Headers and Connectors".
