MSI MAG Tomahawk wifi X670E
("AMD Ryzen 9000 desktop ready")
CPU: 9700x
RAM: T-Force Delta DDR5 6000MHz 2x16GB
Power Supply: RM850x

The most hopeful screen I have seen is the processor being listed and having "delete" listed as what to press for the BIOS. There it will go to a black screen before I can read everything. I have had it freeze up on the screen. Right now the green trouble shooting led is on.

The motherboard has a "bios flash button" but no port marked for it. But I try the top port nearest the button and wait 20 minutes. No change. There is no visible red led. I try a bottom port and I see a red led. It's activity duration last seconds. No change.

I have checked the RAM positions. The 2nd and 4th slot going away from the processor.

I have tried just the 2nd slot.
I have re-seated both RAM modules.
I have re-seated the cpu.

I shall check my wiring again.

Are there any trouble shooting steps I can take?

All I have are the 4 fault code LEDs. Three of them will come on momentarily during boot up.

I tried just using the cpu, and one ram stick. That got me to the bios.

Now I am going to update the bios. Then add one part at a time.

I'll guess it is the video card that I waited 5 months before buying.

The pc won't boot with a Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon 9070XT installed. This is the last component. The green fault LED is on (BOOT - indicates the booting device is not detected or fail). I have no idea why that would be. The GPU requires a 750W PSU. I have a 850W.

Try to set PCI_E1 slot as Gen 4 in BIOS then check again.
The MB might automatically set graphics card as Gen 5 which is not compatible to all graphics cards.
