I'm already done with this garbage mobo

[mayan50]

Brand new 1950x on Zenith Extreme build.

I can't get a initial boot to go all the way. I've pull and reseated all ram and now have just one stick in A1 (it's GSKill's 128GB kit with the "X" model number--i.e., slated for Threadripper.

I've flashed BIOS several times trying 0701 and 0801

I've checked my TR seating and pins, all good.

The current error code on motherboard, well there isn't any, it's hung up on "CPU". Previously, I had received a "00 CMOS ERROR" and have also had a couple rounds of "A9 BIOS Setup Menu".

Only thing plugged in is a GTX1050 card with HDMI to monitor.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Now I am getting "Code 90: CHECK CPU"

the bios is still pretty buggy
after the 801 update
did you clear cmos do that like 2 times
sometimes you have to update the bios twice

If you still get the check cpu and you have no bent pins rma or return it

if it was your ram it would restart after saying MEM:something

(your leds probably will be off until you update the firmware)

You may also have a bad CPU. Changing one or the other should tell you which.
