Error code 00 cpu led on no post5/16/2023 One last note, Of the 8 pin connectors on the board, The tech said that the 8-pin connector is required, but the additional 4-pin connector only needs to be connected if you are overclocking the processor. I am not sure why I had issue with the Focus power supply, I don't necessarily think it is a bad supply, it just didn't work for me. That was good enough odds for me to try replacing it, I replaced it with the Corsair RM750 and it fixed the issue. He specified the 20A on the 12v lead being needed. I talked to MSI (Phone 626.271.1004 fyi) and the guy said that 90% of the time when the board is acting intermittent it is the power supply. The one I had problems with was rated at 650w (Focus Gx-650) with close 20A on the 12v lead. Resolution for me was to get a different power supply. The power button was non-responsive to the 8 second hold, and if I got to the screen asking for the os installation it would black out the screen after about 30 seconds and go into a non-responsive state. The symptoms were the Red cpu light (most times), or if it wasn't I would get a ram not present, or not in the right slots ( I was troubleshooting), or very occasionally I would get to an actual boot screen prompting me that I needed to load the os. I figure I would mention what fixed mine. Hey, I realize this is a bit dated now, but I ran into some similar issues. It could be that these new CPU's are just really power hungry and necessitate the extra overhead. As a result, you may think you have your memory seated in all the way, when it actually isn't.Įdit 2: I don't know if this will yield any results, but for B450 users who are dealing with similar issues, these steps might be worth trying too if you haven't already. The problem with this is that you do not get that fully reassuring click when you press down on one side of the stick like you do with DIMMs where the tabs are on both sides. Regardless, I now have a fully functioning system that, unless something goes horribly wrong over the next few weeks, I do not have to worry about RMA'ing.īig thanks to everyone who chimed in earlier today, and I wish you all well on your journey towards getting a functional board.Įdit: One other thing to mention, this board uses what are, in my opinion, really shitty DIMM slots where you only get a push-down tab on one side. Perhaps it needed to do some sort of initialization upon posting, but who the hell knows. I'm really not sure why it did not boot initially with this ram. I did have to hop into the bios and turn XMP on so I could run it at the full 3000mhz. After I installed windows, I decided to just try using the 3000mhz ram again, and wouldn't you know it, it booted up just fine. Step 2 (if S1 did not resolve the problem): Try sub 3000mhz DDR4 and refer to MSI's compatibility chart. So then I loaded up two sticks of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400mhz, reset the CMOS, flipped the switch, and FINALLY I witnessed a glorious splash screen! I realize that this does not mean much beyond they just did not test it, but bear with me. My original Corsair Vengeance DDRmhz, and apparently was not listed as supported on MSI's site. However, for me, I needed to do one more thing. Hopefully, this is all you will need to do. My advice, just go get a PSU and try it out). (Note: If you have an 8 to 12 pin adapter, you can maybe give it a shot to see if it works, but I have read several accounts that this does not solve the issue, and one user mentioned they were limited to using only a single stick of ram when they did this. Step 1: Use a PSU with multiple 8 pin CPU connectors. With that said, for whatever reason, this board almost certainly requires it. I find it incredibly difficult to believe that a stock 3600 is going to draw enough power to justify having 12 pins plugged in at all times. Now, I know many are like me and think that the additional 4 pins are for redundancy, and it should not matter if those are plugged in or not. However, my old PSU was missing something important, and that was an additional 4 pin connector for powering the CPU. Now, my old PSU was working fine, and in fact, will be what I end up installing in my old system which I am selling. When I got home, I set up a makeshift testbench and got to work.įirst thing I attempted to do was just try out the new PSU. It was a bit pricey, but one of these will go back to the store in the next couple of days. So after accumulating a few promising leads from other users on what might lead to a solution, I decided to pick up a new PSU on my way home from work, and 16GB of 2400mhz DDR. So after an absurd amount of troubleshooting and a trip to my local Best Buy, I have finally gotten my board and CPU to not only post, but I have Windows installed, and I am currently using my new rig to write this post.
