Similar issue with my last build. The mobo was a h510 board so only two slots. Installed two DIMMS. No post. Installed only one dimm, It would post with only one particular slot. Thought the mobo had a faulty slot or something was faulty with my CPU memory channel as i bought it used and untested at a steal price. Removed the cpu to for a quick inspection and to check for bent pins in socket. Everything seemed fine so i reinstalled the cpu and reseated the cooler and VOILA! Problem solved. System posted with 2 DIMMS. Did an online reseach. Turned out reseating the cooler solved the issue. Uneven pressure when tightening the cooler can cause the cpu not to be seated properly and thus not making proper contact with socket pins and as a result simulate symptoms of a dead cpu memory channel. Always ensure to not overtighten the cpu cooler. Proceed in an X pattern and equal tightening torque on all screws. Give it a try if u facing similar problem.
Never understood why bloggers think it’s good to add background music to these videos, especially on troubleshooting or how-to. Everyone that is watching these videos most likely have an issue and adding distracting unnecessary background music makes it very difficult to follow along. Aside from the music, you have an otherwise good video.
Had this same issue with my Asus Z790-E turned out the motherboard didn't like the corsair 6200 memory Modules , yes the strange things magic things with the Bios or could be dirty contact pins who knows the land of computers for you
Yep that was early on when the 5000 series Ryzen chips were getting released. The issue with the PC was not that though. Seemed like some fault / dirt with RAM interfacing with the motherboard.
Glad to see I'm not just stupid for thinking that. I don't know much about fixing PC's, just swapping some parts now and then, but stress testing things that get flaky helps find intermittent problems.
Looks like the board is flexing quite a lot when inserting the ram, maybe it doesn't have all the standoffs fitted? But I agree I think the Ram slots were cleaned by re-seating.
Just built a brand new PC and I ran into the same issue which led me here. It doesn't post at all. I have an MSI X670 board and I get the post code 00, a red light for the CPU, and a yellow light for the DRAM. There's also a burning smell that I cannot pinpoint the origin of, but the AIO pump does make a very faint clicking sound like it's not getting enough power so maybe its burning itself out.
Even if an AIO is burning out it shouldn’t prevent a bootup. There should be some native heat transfer that in theory should allow it to run. If it’s shutting off quickly after bootup then I would say it indeed is the cooling solution but seems like something else is going on here. Feel free to join my discord and me and others can help work you through this!

What mobo is it and what is the bios version? Most out of the box AM4 mobos need a bios update to run the 5000 series APU and some need it for all 5000 series.
what if the computer randomly posts and randomly doesn't? just rma'ed my ram kit and now it works but somtimes it has to restart several times before i get the post screen
I had the same issue before and I've seen this issue a lot from other people too. I tried swapping the slots and it would work. But then it failed so I had to use 1 RAM, then won't post again till I couldn't use my PC at all/ I bought a new motherboard thinking that would fix it because I thought I had bad dimm slots but it turned out that cleaning the RAM with an eraser would fix the thing.
Thanks for the input! Yes I too have also had issues like this before where the dimm slots might have accumulated dirt, etc and causes a dimm to stop working. It makes perfect sense if you think about it
I used to have to completely remove my RAM and reseat the sticks every three months or so with my old AMD FX board because it would just quit working. I had to do that for about three years that I had it. Was I possibly cleaning the slots inadvertently when I did this? Who knows? I have not had that problem with my Ryzen 5 setup in the two years I've had this one, knock on wood.
Ryzen 1000 series is quite particular with the memory. Possibly reseating the memory probably cleared some tolerances that prevented the PC from booting. :)
Always happy to see new vids from you man! And I actually just built myself a brand new rig a week ago. i5 12400 with a Hyper 212 - 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 - Asus B660-Plus D4 - Asus RTX 3060 Dual OC - 8.5TB storage (4.5 is SSD) - Fractal Define 7 case. About 1800 all in.
@@PCTechHustle Yeah, it's a great rig, and the 12400 is a beast. My now secondary rig that it replaces has a Haswell-E Xeon 12C/24T, and the 6C/12T 12400 has 27% better multicore performasnce and a whopping 228% better single core performance. And the thing I love about the 12400 most is that if you keep it well cooled it will literally never go below 4.0GHz even though the base is 2.5GHz. The 12th gen is amazing.

There was a know BIOS issue w/ AMD boards when upgrading from 3K to 5K CPU's. Happened to me, had to flash the new BIOS, fixed it, easy peasy
Yep that was early on when the 5000 series Ryzen chips were getting released. The issue with the PC was not that though. Seemed like some fault / dirt with RAM interfacing with the motherboard.
Good troubleshooting. Probably would have run a memtest to verify no errors too, but probably overkill.
Yeah in hindsight I should have done that for sure!
And check the event viewer for memory issues once bootable again. Would have thrown a code for sure I would think

I would check the outlet that it was plugged into...It probably tripped.
Should I buy one of those Chinese $60 motherboards. I'm buying a 4th gen intel cpu. (The mobo won't allow allow overclocking)
Those can be a bit of a gamble. I’ve actually been wanting to check one out
this man deserve so much more!
Thanks so much!

@@PCTechHustlesound like the psu
Absolutely no chance dust in the dimms was the cause. What it actually is who knows, 100% wasn't dirty dimms.
Hard to say
awesome vid! I am here to follow up, is that pc still doin good? 😁
Thanks! As far as I know it’s going just fine! I haven’t heard from the customer since I gave it back.
Lol...that was funny.
Dead memory channel?

Bios update. I've seen a problem like this on Greg Salazar's channel. A bios update fixed it.
MemTest86+.....
You can only do that with an operating system. But a good point to run that check after.
Where’d you get your foam hexagon panels from?
Amazon. Elgato wave panels:

You are right. I probably should have taken the extra step of doing a mem test. Luckily he lives close should there be any more issue.

DId you just switched off the PSU without shutting it down properly?
Yes, it won’t hurt anything. Might not be good to do many times over though
Okay. I get you, but come on. I always deal with customers with bad and corrupted HDD/SSD with this kind of practice.
I thought I'd imagined it so went looking for it in the comments. Come on man you're asking for trouble - that's someone else's data!
