[RESPONDED] AMD Batch 1 Guild

Did anybody try to boot without an SSD or with an empty SSD? I’ve hit problems booting and don’t know what to expect exactly.

Current expectation is as follows:

  • Hit power
  • Only first boot a minute or two of memory training, black screen (seen this in a unboxing)
  • POST LED blinking
  • Framework logo and text on black (seen this in unboxing, never on mine)
  • Some kind of error caused by no boot media, possibly a display of hot keys for bios entry (this is a guess)

What I’m getting:

  • Hit power
  • 1 minute black screen
  • POST LED blinking
  • Nothing else, just black screen with backlight on

Details here (AMD RAM issues thread)

Just looking for the expected sequence of events in case of a fully working setup with empty or missing SSD. I have contacted support, but I expect them to be flooded with requests currently :slight_smile:

Do you get the POST LED blinking directly after power on when the system is fully working?

Edit1: I believe my internal display is broken. Disconnecting that and connecting an external monitor via HDMI card shows the system menu and messages relating to boot.
