Spent an hour troubleshooting my friend's PC, this was the one thing that fixed it. He has a MSI MAG B550M Mortar motherboard and had the same issue with no display and the boot light on. Taking the CMOS battery out and draining the power solved it! Thank you!

[@e_scorp]

I also had an issue, for me warming up the pc for a little bit and instantly turning pc on/off from power supply button booted the pc.

Thank you for the video!!! I first had CPU/DRAM lights on, this is after playing BF4. I replaced the tower a couple months ago so everything has been running fine. So changed the DRAM, light went away but now I had the BOOT light on, cleaned the PS, tried everything I could think of... Found your video, replaced the CMOS battery, all is well now. thank you.

[@YTrap.Outlaw]

I had the same issue

[@Miraahi115]

Thank you so much bro i wasnt sure it was going to work but it did

[@ryanr6240]

Thanks for the video. I first had the red light on the DRAM. I took out one of the ram sticks, then moved the other to different slots, with the stick in the 2nd slot the light changed from DRAM to Boot. I followed your instructions, left the pc off for a couple hours and it booted up thankfully. I updated the bios then added back the 2nd ram stick. So far so good.

[@hexenhell]

[@billydaves101]

THANK YOU I WENT FROM NO PULSE BACK TO LIFE

[@michelepasserino9531]

Thank you so much! I tried this and it worked. However, I think my problem was that I also forgot to connect the HDMI camble directly to the GPU (first time building pc...), which was the cause for no display signal; moreover I have read that if you still need to install OS, you should first insert the install media (usb) when booting for the first time. So I don't know if this resetting CMOS was the real fix or the fact that I connected the HDMI correctly and the install media. (Also, don't know if this is correct, but after resetting the CMOS, before installing Windows, I re-updated the BIOS to newer version, just to be sure) Thank you again.

[@GTSW1FT]

Thanks mate, that helped get rid of that boot led. 👍

[@linuxknight4076]

5 minutes is all you need to discharge the cmos settings if battery is removed, OR - short the clear CMOS jumpers when the power is completely removed from the motherboard while the battery is still in its socket.

[@FriendResident]

Yes exactly, you can just short the JBAT1 cmos jumper pins (usually on msi boards) simply by touching them both with a screwdriver or using a jumper. A screwdriver or metal object works fine for me.

[@whatyatutdelayu]

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Good to hear!

[@dimashadibandarawijaya7691]

Thanks man, it works

[@Centroid888]

For me personally it was because I plugged the HDMI to the port instead of directly into the graphics card. Once it was plugged into the graphics card the problem was fixed. Also make sure your cables are plugged in correctly on the power supply too.

[@jcoutoribas]

can’t believe I made the same mistake hahaha

[@GuyX2013]

Bro this was it for me as well

[@sneedit69]

This was exactly my issue! Came up after having the PC unplugged for a few minutes. I think I even have the same motherboard as you, or similar (MSI Gaming Plus X470). Mine has a CMOS reset button near the bottom that fixed the issue after being held down for 10 seconds, so it might be worth checking to see if you have that before removing the battery and unplugging components.

Incase someone having the same problem with similar motherboard, here’s what I did Turned off the pc completely and then turned off the PSU, then unplugged everything from the back of the pc even the display port.

Connected everything back and its working!

Hi, i got an MSI z590 unifiy when i do flash bios it turns on the whole board but after it flash nothing works or power up, im not sure if the power supply is not enought but it si 600w i just add cpu power 8pin conector and the rest of power, but nothing works, it doesnt shows up nothing the only way the motherboard respond is when i try to update BIOS with a USB by flash port. Any help???

[@wayneosman8971]

you forgot one step = 1* Disconnect power, 2* Turn off power switch on power supply if it has one 3* Hold down the power button for 60 seconds 4* remove the Battery and "All" electrical connectios to the motherboard including video connection, any usb devices, or anything that may supply power inadvertently to the motherboard. When your sure there isn't anything connected to the motherboard that might supply electricity back to the motherboard, Your Good. 6* Use a shunt on the CMOS jumpers making sure to short this 2 prong "Cmos Reset Jumper" These shunts came with motherboars until recently and were always a valuable item. Now we use a screwdriver to short these two prong terminal posts, hold the screwdriver oner the reset cmos jumpers for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. After that your finished if you have a jumper shunt put it on one post of the two prong Cmos jumper and your done. Last reasemble in reverse order and try again. This process should only take about 5 to 10 minutes.

This worked for my B450. Luckily, I didn't have to remove the battery.

***MY FIX** I have a "MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries Motherboard" , and I was getting the VGA light indicator and my monitor would not turn on. I used a DVI cable for the initial boot (instead of HDMI) cable and I was able to get to BIOS. Hope this helps, I found this solution in one of the replies to comments on this video, I just wanted to make another comment in hopes it helps someone else out. Also windows 7 did not want to boot, I had to USB boot to windows 10, once there I had no more issues.

[@MusicLoveGood]

So my problem is I’ve had my pc for about three weeks or so .. today turned it on Everything seems laggy on the screen then my BOOT & VGA Light Came On & My PC Shuts Off.. I’ve looked everywhere to solve this and couldn’t find anything that works ..

[@apc7788]

No works for me… i have the VGA led error, i put new amd card and nothing. It comes from a multiple restarting while i was playing, and now is always showing the led error, including without GPU connected.

[@j0r3l07]

I tried all of this with no results, but this video helped further troubleshoot my problem. My real problem was that the PCIE slot where my GPU connected suddenly died, so I had to connect to the second PCIE slot, otherwise I would get a “No Signal” on the 1st PCIE slot, with the white VGA and green boot light on the motherboard. After connecting the GPU to the other slot, I would get a powered signal, but it was black screen, with a green boot light on the Mobo, and still unable to access the bios. No logo, no bios access. Still essentially bricked at this point The final fix was to connect my M2 SSD with Windows on it, and it the ROG logo and BIOS screen finally popped out and I could finally access Windows. Still strange though, I thought I could access BIOS regardless if I have any HDD or SSD connected.

[@cyengify]

Happened to me on the first restart right after upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11. I've tried the method in the videos and doesn't fixing. For new upgraded win 11 users, this is how i fixed. 1) Upgrade bios firmware to the latest. My old bios firmware version is not supported for Win 11. 2) Reinstall Win 11 using media creation tool

Firstly, thank you for this troubleshoot. I bought an MSI Gaming Plus Max motherboard with Ryzen 5 5600g CPU. Secondly, I am getting the same issue, everything is brand new, the boot led is lighting up and stais like that. Now I flashed the BIOS for the sake of the CPU and when I connect everything after the process the monitor is black and gives no picture. I have an SSD in the m2 slot and I am not sure if that can cause problems, however I will try this method and let you know if that works for me.

[@danielnagy6477]

Turns out I had to buy a DVI cable to set the pc up properly. Previously I used a D-SUB cable with a VGA adapter on it, and I equipped another adapter which is a DVI-HDMI. So basically I swapped 2 cables and now it's working.

[@d0nj03]

Doesn't make much sense to unplug the power cable and _then_ press the power button to drain the circuits. Where are they going to drain to? They need to drain through the 3rd wire in the power cable, which goes to the earth wiring of your building if your power sockets are earthed. So you turn off the supply from its on/off button on the back, press PC power button for 10s to drain whatever lingering charges you might still have in the motherboard, then reset the CMOS by shorting/putting a jumper on its reset pins for 10s, or unplug the supply from the mobo and pull the battery for 5 minutes.

[@shakeb1562]

@@shakeb1562 -Far corner of the mobo opposite to the CPU, you have a JBAT1 jumper (2 pins).- Sorry, I think I looked at the 460, for the 760M the JBAT1 is in the middle below the PCIE slot, between some RGB and USB pins.

[@brianwca]

For many motherboards there is some residual power available to it even after you unplug the PSU. Pressing the power button a couple times clears that out. This is obvious from the fact that many motherboards still have glowing lights even after you unplug the PSU. Those lights go out and stay out after pressing the power button a few times.
