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) ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

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. -------------
