I don't know if the motherboard killed the CPU or if the motherboard just died or if they both got taken out.

I was just sitting here with the PC on and was watching YouTube. Then the display went off and I looked at the PC and it had a red light for CPU and I noticed the GPU (a zotac 5080) light flashes red as well. Fans stayed on.

I tried restarting it and it won't post or display anything. The GPU flashes red straight away and the red light for CPU issues lights up instantly. The fans still turn on and the ram lights up after about 5 seconds. I've tried taking the ram out and using a single stick of ram in different slots with no luck.

At this point I'm pretty certain it's either the cou is dead, the motherboard is now faulty and won't post or a combination of the two.

With all of the issues with ASRock boards and 9800x3d's dying I'm unsure whether I need to go to ASRock or AMD ? Do I get the CPU replaced first or the motherboard or both? I really don't know the exact process. Any information on how to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I have this new MB for a build to pair it with a ryzen 7 7700 and will upgrade to a newer cpu in Future.Since all bad news is coming up about asrock mbs killing ryzen cpu's should i consider it replacing with b850m gigabyte gaming x wife or msi b850 tomahawk max wifi. I got a person who will buy the b850m steel legend from me and if i sell it i will get either of these two Motherboards. With really high hopes i bought the steel legend and was really happy about it then saw all the bad news regarding asrock motherboard killing cpu's and somewhere somewhat even ryzen x3d chips are to be blamed too i think but unfortunately death of these cpus is occurring more on asrock motherboards. Would like your opinion on this please as we all are part of pc building community.

Hi all, posting here in the hope for some assistance.

My PC worked fine yesterday however out of nowhere it will no longer boot/display anything on a monitor.

The motherboard is a ASRock B650 lightning where I'm running an approx 1.5 year old 9800x3d.

On boot the post status checker LED will cycle through the other indicators before staying lit on 'boot'.

I have tried resetting the CMOS, attempting to boot using integrated graphics both with and without the GPU inserted. I have reseated the CPU, M2 SSD, RAM and GPU and tried booting with different combinations of these however the same problem persists and the boot light stays lit during each attempt. I have also updated the BIOS to the most recent update via flashback which unfortunately didn't help either.

I'm at a loss and not sure what I should try next or if there is a way to understand where the problem lies before I start trying to replace parts.

If anyone has some advice it would be greatly appreciated

I am in the process of changing my home server to a different mb for dual GPU purposes. Currently i have the Asrock X1316 and not sure what to do with it when I change. If I were to sell it how much would it be worth? Thanks in advance for your responses.

I have a B650M and a R7 7700, just got the opportunity to upgrade to a R7 9800X3D, so my question is about the mb killing the cpu. Looking at this sub I see the majority of the problem happens in newer mb with pbo enabled, so if I dont use pbo and etc I'm "safe"? I also updated my bios to the latest version (I think is 4.43)

I am running 9800x3d on x870e nova WiFi.

Is it ok to update chipset drivers without updating bios?

I’ve been running bios 3.4 for a while and will update soon but I was thinking of updating chipset drivers in the meantime.

Further update. Ive bios flashbacked reseated the ram removed the m.2 and nothing. Either the psu motherboard or cpu is dead.

Hey everyone, I need some help troubleshooting a PCIe lane issue on my setup.

My ASRock B660M PG Riptide with an i3 12100F only runs the primary PCIe slot at x8 instead of x16. I tested two separate cards: an RX 9070 GRE runs at PCIe 4.0 x8, and a GTX 1050 Ti runs at PCIe 3.0 x8 in the same slot.

In Linux, lspci confirms the CPU root port link negotiates at x8, while the GPU internal switch reports full x16 capability. Lanes 0 to 7 report zero errors and clean margins.

I have already reset the BIOS, forced Gen3/Gen4 speeds, reseated and cleaned the card edge, and removed all NVMe SSDs (the CPU M.2 slot still works at x4 fine). Link retraining in the OS always comes back as x8.

The catch is that when I first got this motherboard, it had a few bent LGA1700 pins that I straightened with a needle. The system has been stable, but I suspect one of the PEG signal pins for lanes 8 to 15 might have poor contact.

Has anyone seen uneven cooler pressure or bent socket pins cause this exact behavior? Would an LGA1700 contact frame help, or is this likely a dead pin or trace?

Hi, does your MediaTek BT ​​on AM5 motherboards support LE Audio? I've tried several drivers and have the latest W11 updates, but unfortunately, the option doesn't appear in the Devices panel. Specifically, I have a MediaTek MT7922 and an Asrock B650I Lightning WIFI.

i flashed the wrong motherboard model by accdient. and now when trying to instant flash the right one to update it. it says file invalid. worng mtoehrboard mdoel N550M right model is B760-C how do i fix this?

I restarted my pc and got this pop-up, would be thankful if someone could tell me how to get out of it

I just built my first pc and got the bios set up but now when I turn it on after a bit it gets stuck on the logo with a white led then when i power it off then on again it works like normal. when i look up the symptoms i was told to turn off fast start up but i don't know how to do that nor what it does and if it would fix it.

my mother board is a ASRock X870E Challenger WiFi ATX Motherboard.
