Check you Motherboard. How many cables are connected in the CPU header up top

[raw barn]

Where at wdym

I can send a picture of it real quick

[scenic salmon]

did you plug in your front panel connectors

[raw barn]

Yeah

[scenic salmon]

is the switch on the psu on

and you used your manual to determine where they go, right

[raw barn]

Yeah haha

[buoyant frigate]

The header top left, the header on the right in the middle (ish) and the cluster of wires at the bottom

[buoyant frigate]

Have you plugged in all 12 on the top left header

[raw barn]

[buoyant frigate]

all 12 connection. I can see the 8 pin, is there a 4 next to it too?

[raw barn]

No there isn’t

[scenic salmon]

b550 tomahawk has one 8 pin cpu power

[buoyant frigate]

okay solid

go closer to the bottom if you can

[raw barn]

Ok

[buoyant frigate]

I dont see any front panel connections. whats behind the thick USB 3.0 wires coming through the rubber shroud

[raw barn]

Yeah let me move that for you

[buoyant frigate]

How do I clear my CMOS?

1. If your system is on, shut it down.
2. Unplug your system from the wall.
3. Open your system and locate the watch battery on your motherboard. It may be located under your GPU. If this is the case, remove your GPU to get to the CMOS battery.
4. Remove the battery.
5. Hold the power button for 15 seconds to discharge any remaining power in your system.
6. Reinsert the watch battery, and the GPU if you removed it.
7. Plug your system back into the wall and turn it on.

Note: Your motherboard manual will have specific instructions on how to clear your CMOS. You can find your manual online on the same product page under "Manuals."

[scenic salmon]

that probably won't work though

but you could try

?paperclip

[south shadow]

PAPERCLIP

The paperclip test is used to force a power supply to turn on through the same method that the motherboard does. This is done by bridging the PS_ON terminal to a ground terminal in the ATX 24 Pin connector (See diagram below). Some power supplies require having some form of load on the power supply, such as a fan to power on. Corsair also has a tutorial on how to conduct this at https://youtu.be/5FWXgQSokF4 .

[scenic salmon]

to see if it's your power supply

[buoyant frigate]

given its a fresh build CMOS wouldnt seem to be the issue. Maybe unflashed mobo.

[raw barn]

Idk dude

I guess I’m going to Best Buy lol

[buoyant frigate]

what CPU is it

[scenic salmon]

or you could troubleshoot at home

[raw barn]

Ryzen 5 5600x

Yeah but idk what I’m doing

[buoyant frigate]

and a B550 Tomohawk
MSI?

[raw barn]

Yeah

[buoyant frigate]

you may need to flash the bios

[raw barn]

Would that make the whole pc not start

[buoyant frigate]

could do Im not entirely sure
