what code is showing on the little display on the motherboard?

can u send a pic of the yellow light

can u also show me ur atx connections

solid gate Nov 10, 2024, 12:53 AM

well apparently those are the lights indicating a RAM problem. I would try reseatting your RAM. And even just putting one RAM stick in and trying different slots

it has to be fully in

hard to see in ur mini case

paper current Nov 10, 2024, 12:58 AM

I have already tried so much that I think the mainboard is broken

nocturne forge Nov 10, 2024, 12:59 AM

is there no air between the 24pin and the plug?

paper current Nov 10, 2024, 12:59 AM

#

nocturne forge hard to see in ur mini case

Yes, I thought so too, but otherwise nothing would turn on the mainboard even if it wasn't getting any power

nocturne forge Nov 10, 2024, 12:59 AM

#

paper current Yes, I thought so too, but otherwise nothing would turn on the mainboard even if...

the motherboard only pulls power out of the 24 pin to work

#

the cpu and ram from the atx12v

#

the 24pin can be a bit lifted which would lead to something like this too

paper current Nov 10, 2024, 1:00 AM

#

I mean like there is air

nocturne forge Nov 10, 2024, 1:00 AM

#

yeah that doesnt matter

#

just make sure it is 100% no air fully seated

#

as well as the atx12v

#

in psu as well as in the motherboard

how exactly I didn't quite understand what had to be done

if its modular ofc

#

make sure this big plug is completely plugged in

Do you mean that the connections are 100% in?

push it until theres no air between the plug and the connector

no this shouldnt happen it would display the vga light

I am looking to see if your board has integrated graphics or not. If it does not then yes that would be the problem

yes?

all ddr5 cpus of amd

3200g

they started at ddr5 to name it like intel does

oh wow I did not know that

nocturne forge Nov 10, 2024, 1:06 AM

#

i dont even know why tbh xD

#

just remember ddr4 used a g (in most cases) and ddr5 is like intel

#

anyways he does have an igpu

#

my guess would be that the atx12v is loose

paper current There is also no air between the connection in the PSU

honestly at this point I would just take it out of the case and do a test bench. Basically just build it outside the case only including what is neccesary. It is possible that the pins on the back of your motherboard are touching your metal case and messing something up. Also could be some other installation error, which would most likely be fixed if you just build it again outside and test it

but the atx12v

paper current Nov 10, 2024, 1:14 AM

not if its proper connected

Do you think they are blocked by this?

nocturne forge Nov 10, 2024, 1:15 AM

#

blocked by what

#

u did connect em after u screwed the motherboard in right?

#

or did u first connect and then screwed it in

#

i think it blocked u from connecting it proper yes

#

but i dont think it blockes it from being proper connected if that makes sense

paper current Nov 10, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

I don't remember. It was hard to get it all in. I think I did and then I had to reconnect some of it because it didn't fit into the case because of the cable mess

#

I starting to hate itx

nocturne forge Nov 10, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

this could be the fault

#

that the atx12v isnt fully seated

it could be

Links to guides on how to perform BIOS flashback

ASRock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNoNVL0dYL8
Asus https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1038568/
Gigabyte https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Bv0HWJGIY
MSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTkXunUAriE
Few notes about the flashback process
Make sure to download the latest (NOT beta) BIOS for your EXACT model of motherboard
it can have different names : Flash BIOS Button, Q-Flash, BIOS Flashback
BIOS Flashback requires only the 24 and 8pin power connector to be plugged in but you can do it on a fully built PC too, no need to remove any components
If the LED stops blinking after a short time (~10s), something went wrong
DO NOT power on the pc first, it is OFF when you press the button
The button does not have to be near the back IO, it can also be at the bottom of the motherboard (Gigabyte)

I haven't found a fix for it other than changing RAM, BIOS updates, CMOS reset

Resetting Desktop CMOS
Clear CMOS

Shut the Desktop down, switch off the power supply, and unplug the power cable.
Locate the CMOS battery on your motherboard, you're looking for a CR2032 button cell battery, normally near, or underneath the GPU.
Remove the battery from the motherboard by pushing the tab aside, Avoid using any metallic tools for this.
Now hold the power button down for about 10-15 seconds.
Reinsert the CMOS battery, and then boot the computer like normal.
