A red light on the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI motherboard in a new build that won't boot to BIOS could be caused by improper power connections. Specifically, check that the CPU_PWR1 and ATX_PWR1 connectors from the power supply are securely connected to the motherboard. Also, verify that the power switch cable is properly connected to the JFP1 pin header. If the issue persists, clearing the CMOS may help.

The MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI motherboard may not display output with one RAM stick in DIMM slot 2 due to incorrect memory placement. Many motherboards require a specific slot to be populated first when using a single RAM stick. Typically, for a single RAM module, it should be installed in DIMM slot 1 or DIMM slot 3 (usually the second slot from the CPU) as per the motherboard manual. Additionally, ensure the RAM is properly seated, compatible with the motherboard, and that the BIOS is updated.
