Out of curiosity, what PSU are you using? Is it a PICO unit?
Also, can you PM me the serial numbers of the boards you had issues with, I will send that along to my contacts at ASRock to check how and where they were handled and or distributed to retailers. |

First power supply was a 750 PowerSpec. John at ASRock suggested it was the problem, and I replaced it.
Second unit I can't remember if it's a EVGA 850 or a Corsair 850. The serial numbers they can get from my RMA tickets |

This is just turning into a bloody nightmare.
ASRock got both the motherboards I had that were both having the issue. They were able to get them to power up, and function properly. The only issue I have is that they did not have a 5600x that I am using, but used a 5900x and 5950x. They replaced them under RMA just in case. Both of the new ones are exhibiting the same behavior that the original ones had. Being that the only component of this system that hasnt been replaced is the AMD CPU 5600x, John from ASRock is suggesting I replace that. In the middle of that RMA with AMD now My brother, who is a IT Engineer says its possible that its the CPU. A couple "Geeks" I know say they can see no way that a CPU is going to cause a RTC clock issue. And it most certainly cant be the video card since all those lanes go thru the CPU. I also my video card to 4 other known good and working systems, and they had no issues. Will have to see what AMD says. |

Well, I am happy to report that the new CPU allowed me to update my BIOS, and it also fixed my RTC clock. When I showed the Binary Initialization Failure screen shot to AMD, they expedited the RMA? Thought that was odd.
But a 18 month saga for me is coming to an end. Computer is up and running, GPU was also re-thermal pasted while it was apart. I would post a picture of the completed build, but they dont allow it here? |

Glad to hear your issue was resolved. Sadly bad CPUs are a lot more common than
they once were. You can post pics here but you need to upload them to an image hosting service not the forums. Then you just add [ img ]link to image[ /img ] (without the spaces in the img tags). Edited by Xaltar - 13 Sep 2022 at 9:42pm |
