I've been experiencing an issue with my motherboard where it shows error code 04 and won't boot. Previously, it displayed 06, but I managed to fix that by reseating the CPU, and all the pins look perfectly straight. I'm currently using a Ryzen 1500 with an X570 motherboard for testing purposes, as I don't want to remove my main CPU from my old PC. I've also tried swapping out GPUs and tested different RAM sticks in all the slots available.

Hey, just a heads up—X570 motherboards only support Ryzen CPUs from the 2000 to 5000 series. So, unfortunately, your Ryzen 1500 isn't compatible. You might want to consider borrowing or getting a supported CPU for your tests.
I get that the situation's frustrating! I'd recommend clearing the CMOS first. Also, make sure not to enable XMP, DOCP, or EXPO settings initially. You can try different RAM slots or even a different stick of RAM. Hope this helps!
That's good advice! I had similar issues when I skipped the CMOS reset. Definitely worth a try!
