I just upgraded my setup with a new 7600x CPU and an MSI B650 Plus WiFi motherboard, but now I'm facing a problem. I can't get it to boot at all, and the EZDebug CPU LED keeps lighting up. I've already reseated the CPU and the 8-pin power connection, but I'm stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really need my PC ready for work tomorrow morning!

It could be a good idea to take some clear pictures of all your connections and post them somewhere, as you mentioned there’s nothing obviously broken. Also, make sure your motherboard isn’t lying directly on the case and is properly mounted on standoffs. If you haven’t tried it yet, jumping the JOCFS1 might help to initiate a safe boot, though I’m not entirely confident it will solve the problem.
First off, try flashing the BIOS to the latest version; you can do this without needing a successful boot—just check the BIOS flash button process in your manual. Also, double-check your CPU socket for any bent pins or debris. Additionally, test one stick of RAM at a time and ensure all power connections are secure. That should help narrow things down!
You might want to reset the CMOS by pulling out the battery and then putting it back in. After that, reseat everything and confirm that there are no bent pins. When you're troubleshooting, let it sit for a couple of minutes each time just in case the motherboard lights up while it’s training the memory. Hang in there!
