AMD CoolerMaster Case First Boot -- WONT BOOT

[Ethan_McQuhae]

I recently received my AMD mainboard and popped it into the Framework CoolerMaster case. I have 32GB (2x16GB) Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMMS installed and a WD-Blue 1tb drive installed. When plugged into power I get flashing blue and red lights on both sides of the board. I will try to powercycle and the fan will kick in for a few seconds and then sometimes I will get a flash of green white and orange lights on the sides for about 5 seconds and back to the red and blue flashing.

I have seen that others have had a similar problem, but after trying all that they have sugguested, nothing has allowed it to post. Things I have tried:

1. No NVME drive on boot
2. Letting the lights go on all night (8 hours) to train RAM
3. Booting with only one RAM stick in channel 0
4. Pressing down on the case closed switch before powering on.

I am at a loss of where to go from here to get this to boot.

Booting with only one RAM stick in channel 0

Have you tried with just one RAM stick in channel 1?

I’m surprised your amd board does fit inside your coolermaster case, as mine didn’t and I had to return.

I did however encounter the same issues as you, and after my return Framework provided these instructions:

AMD board solely in the coolermaster case?

Framework responded with the following regarding getting the mainboard to boot: Can you please try the following steps to fix the issue: Remove all the expansion cards. Remove the top cover of your Coolermaster case. Plug the power adapter directly from any of the expansion slots. Press the chassis open switch in the center of the main board 10 times, you must press it slowly, so press for 2 seconds. Release, and wait for the red blink on the motherboard LEDs. Press, etc. [alt image] Put e…

I have the exact same issue. Did you manage to solve this somehow?
