I'm trying to get my son's used computer parts up and running, but I'm stuck on an error code 'n5' with the EVGA X570 FTW motherboard. We've connected everything, but when we power it on, there's no monitor output, and this error shows up. I've already tried reseating the CPU, flashing the BIOS, swapping the RAM, and even replacing the power supply. I'm really frustrated and could use some help to figure out what I'm missing and how to troubleshoot this error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you've done a lot already to troubleshoot. Just to recap, you have the EVGA X570 FTW board and an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, right? You've tried reseating everything, clearing the CMOS, and replacing the power supply, but that pesky 'n5' error keeps hanging around. Since this error isn't listed in the EVGA documentation, it could indicate a faulty motherboard. One thing you might want to check is whether the case connections to the motherboard are secure, especially if they're hard to disconnect. It's possible there's a grounding issue or some kind of short. Hang in there!
Here's a link to a picture of the n5 code if you still need it: [Image of n5 error](https://imgur.com/a/MsTbsqp). Hopefully, that gives a clearer idea of what you're dealing with.
I know it can be super frustrating! A picture of the error code would really help us diagnose the issue. Do you have the ability to share a screenshot? Often visual clues can point us in the right direction.
