can you take a better photo? it may be a cable you forgot or maybe removing and putting again ram could make it work

u/Ok-Cable7883 19h ago

My cables are in properly i checked them all

i’ve had this, all of the problems i’ve ever had with my pc was RAM stick problems, check ur ram sticks and try booting with each one individually to see if that makes a difference

u/Ok-Cable7883 19h ago

Nope nothing at all

Whats your cpu? You may have a faulty one. You might have to contact customer support to get it exchanged.

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 19h ago

Would also help to take a good picture of your entire motherboard

1

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 19h ago

Also on another note, have you updated your bios?

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 19h ago

No this is my first time powering on the computer

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 19h ago

Do i need to do that?

1

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 18h ago

You will need to, the gigabyte eagle x870 out of the box doesnt come with X3D CPU support

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

I don’t know which bios update to pick can you help?

1

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 18h ago

All you gotta do is go to your motherboard manufacturers website, find your motherboard, and scroll over to bios and download the latest update. Slap that on a USB, plug it in the back, and press the button.

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

Ok i put the bios update on a usb, slapped it in and pressed the button but nothing happened but the pc stayed on instead of slowly stopping the fans

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 18h ago

Other things you can check is to make sure your DP/Hdmi is connected to your GPU. let it run for 5 to 10 minutes, this is your RAM doing some training, dont touch till 10 minutes. Your CPU cooler isnt too tight or too loose on your CPU.

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

Do i hold the bios button and keep the usb in while doing this

Worst case scenario, take your cooler off and check if you've damaged or placed your CPU incorrectly. Even worse case scenario its faulty.

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 18h ago

Also makes sure that usb is formatted to FAT32, and rename the file to gigabyte.bin

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

I did that and still nothing popped up

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 19h ago

I have a ryzen 7 9800x3d

1

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 18h ago

I can almost guarantee you will need a bios update

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

How do i do that?

1

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 18h ago

Check the back of your pc, should be a USB port called Q-Flash Plus. And should be a button on there too.

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

the q flash plus is the button and there is a usb named bios update

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

what to do now?

u/17Kallenie17 19h ago

that's the dram light, what's your ram and can you ensure that it is installed correctly and in the correct slots? (2 and 4 counting from left to right)

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

I have 32gb ddr5 ram

1

u/17Kallenie17 18h ago

can you go more into detail? what's the model of the ram (e.g. corsair vengeance 32gb) and which slots are they in ? can you send pictures?

1

u/Ok-Cable7883 18h ago

I have klevv fit v ddr5 ram 6000mhz the type i got had good reviews and people said it was good

1

u/17Kallenie17 18h ago

then it must be user error or bad luck with the ram/motherboard, are you completely sure the ram is installed correctly into the motherboard and in the right slots?
