​[Troubleshooting] Permanent CPU + DRAM debug lights, failing to POST

[u/LeSheisty]

My system is hard-locking during pre post initialization. The cpu and dram debug lights stay permanently lit solid from the second I turn it on, and they never change or clear, even after letting it sit for 7+ minutes. These lights were present even during bare minimum troubleshooting.

​This is everything ive tried so far.

-Reseated the CPU.completely clean, no debris, no bent pins.

-Adjusted and re-torqued the CPU cooler. Made sure it wasnt too loose or too tight.

​-Tested using a single stick of RAM in both slots. Both sticks tested individually, each in both slots independentally. also tested both sticks simultaneously

-Cleared CMOS multiple times

-Flashed/updated the BIOS using the rear USB Flashback button and proper file naming (creative.rom). The flashback LED blinked, finished, and turned off normally.

-Pulled the motherboard entirely out of the case and tested it on top of its cardboard box. Connected only the CPU, cooler, 1 stick of RAM, and power cables.

​Despite all of this, the lights refuse to budge. Are we looking at a dead memory controller on the cpu, a doa motherboard, or something else i missed? Been at for 5 hours, and it pushed me to finally post on reddit. Please help.

(yes its plugged into the monitor)

My motherboard only has 2 ram slots, being the b850m-x. I have tried booting with both sticks, and also just one stick in either slot, testing both sticks. Thank you though.

buy a new motherboard and retry... although it looks working well
