No POST and Orange DRAM Q-Led after BIOS update on X670e-f

[Bob17]

Hi folks 

I updated to the latest bios for the x670e-f gaming WiFi, and it went through the usual ezflash process, then went to the text only screen saying don't power anything off, then on the next reboot it just, did nothing. 

I've tried everything I can think of. One stick of ram, tried in different slots, flashed the bios back to both the newest and the previous version, cleared the cmos both with the button on the back and removing the battery, removing everything except the cpu and ram, performing a bios flashback with cpu and ram removed from the system, 

I'm out of ideas!

Hello @Bob17 

Thank you for reaching out to us.
Considering the DRAM Q-LED indicator is lit and the system cannot boot, could you confirm whether the currently installed RAM module is listed on the ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI QVL and whether it is installed in the DIMM_A2 slot?

Based on your description, since the ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI supports BIOS FlashBack, we recommend using USB BIOS FlashBack to update the BIOS again. After the update, please clear CMOS and check if the system can POST.
If possible, you can also try cross-testing with other memory modules, and if the issue persists and the system remains unbootable, we suggest contacting your reseller to arrange for repair or inspection.

Thank you.

Hey,

So yep it's on the QVL

I tried a single stick of RAM in all slots individually after A2 didn't work, with both of my sticks of RAM. And I've also tried clearing the CMOS after performing a BIOS flashback to both 2604 and 1703 using the flashback port, and I tried clearing it with both the button on the back and by removing the battery. 

I have spoken to the reseller, and they've confirmed the same and are looking to get the board returned for inspection
