Looks like it's almost time

See if you can get back to powered up but no signal to monitor. Then look at your KB as it's booting up. If the KB blips, it's a video thing.

I have no idea what the KB is........

The KB is your KeyBoard.

Maybe later, I have everything disconnected and I'm not ready to reconnect it just yet, last night I was ready to use it as a club in an attempt to destroy the club........ Still not quite over that yet.........

I can sympathize with that.

Okay, the new PSU showed up today, hooked everything up, checked all my connections, made sure everything was seated properly then turned it on........ It powered up but no signal to the monitor, double checked my connections then tried it again, no luck. Okay, I only have an M2.2 SSD in, so I add an old HDD, turn it on and it starts screaming at me, non-stop. Turn it off then back on, still screeching at me....... Re check all my connections, reseat the graphics card, turn it back on and I get a large number of short beeps followed by a pause followed by a large number of short beeps. Can't count the beeps cause it's happening so fast. Pull the RAM, put on stick in, same problem, put the stick in one of the other slots, same thing, try the other stick, same problem....... I'm thinking I have a bad mobo, two bad sticks or sticks that are not completely compatible........
I'm at a loss.

Take the m.2 out and try reseating your cpu. Also try different slot with GPU.

If you can, try different type GPU connection. HDMI is the standard now, maybe?

All been done. Just finished a chat with ASUS tech support the RAM is not on their qualified vendor list so they can't insure it will work so I ordered RAM off their QVL and we'll see if it's the problem.

What RAM did you get? (have)

G.SKILL Flare X (for AMD) 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)

This what i just ordered;
G.SKILL Flare X (for AMD) 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GFX - Newegg.com

The ones you recommended that ASUS is claiming is the problem are;
G.Skill DDR4-3000 (F4-3000C16D-16GVRB)

A) The RAM you just bought looks like a really good deal!

B) I'm running the exact RAM I linked in an Asus 470 board right now.

Matter of fact, they're the same RAM, down to the timings and everything. Made at the same place, and the chips are the same.

Don't know, maybe they changed something.
Well we'll know if it's the RAM after it arrives in a couple of days.

I know for a fact nothing has changed in around 3 years. One of the best trolls in the world is G.Skill's QC guy.

It's all Samsung B Die.

Don't know, new BIOs update?

The new RAM just arrived, put it in and turned it on....... No beeps. I'll hook it up to the monitor, etc later, have some errands to run.

 

[Ringel05]

Damn it, hooked it all up, turned it on and it started squealing at me. Okay, disconnected the old HDD squealing stopped but still no signal to the monitor..... Removed the GPU, plugged it in via the HDMI built into the mobo, nope, still no signal. Spent a half hour chatting online with an ASUS tech, finally have an RMA number and will ship it out as soon as I receive my shipping label........ I told them from the get-go it was the mobo......

My graphics card also went west some weeks ago. But since I got it locally, they just replaced it in the store.

More on the saga of the build from hell.

Finally sent off the mobo to ASUS last week for warranty repair. Received an email this morning claiming customer caused damage...... One corner of the mobo was damaged somehow but not by me. ASUS wanted $190 to repair it and wouldn't budge, told me to contact Newegg to resolve to issue, I told ASUS to send it back unrepaired that I was going to mount it on the wall as a reminder never to buy ASUS again.
Contacted Newegg and kinda raised hell when they said it couldn't be returned as it was past the return date but to keep a customer who was pissed off they gave me $75 in credit. Just ordered an AsRock X470 Master at basically half price from Newegg.

No, desktop, it's a new build that's been my build from hell.

No, desktop, it's a new build that's been my build from hell.

My new desktop build has also been a pain in the ass. As far as Windows 10 goes, it is an absolute monster. Untouchable. But gaming has been a crap shoot.

Mobo: ASUS MPG Z390
CPU: Intel i7 8700
RAM: 2x 8 GB 2700
GPU: Radeon RX 590 8 GB GDDR5

This setup fried my old GTX 970 the moment i first powered it up. So, enter the Radeon GPU.

I think my problem is that I need a better cooler for the CPU. The stock cooler is garbage.

And this will be the last time I buy a Radeon GPU. Their controller software is hot garbage and has never worked correctly. It wants to overheat under loads that my supposedly inferior, last GPU handled without sweating.

The FX CPUs had terrible fans with up to 6000/s. Dunno whats wrong with you GPU, though.

 

[Ringel05]

Went ahead and ordered a new CPU, looked at the other one and somehow had more bent pins. The new mobo showed up a couple of days ago and the new CPU today. Finally put it together and after a couple of mis-starts (my fault) it started right up with no problems what so ever. I'm a happy camper.

Fixed!

It was actually an audio driver issue. Two active drivers were battling for control and would then sometimes crash the system. I assumed it was my video card or PCU running hot. Nope. I just disabled one of the audio drivers, and everything is running perfectly.
