    [SOLVED] My PC won't turn on after upgrading from Ryzen 1500x to 3700x

    Brand new and I can return it but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, pins all seem fine. I've ordered a newer model board to see if that's the issue as the guys on the gigabyte boards seem to think the mobo isn't holding the bios updates for some reason

    [SOLVED] My PC won't turn on after upgrading from Ryzen 1500x to 3700x

    No it doesn't turn on with 1,2,3 or 4 Ram sticks installed. The EC FW update does absolutely nothing when I try to install it before F40. It just creates a text doc that just says "00000" Right now Bios is saying F40 When I switch back to the 1500x the pc turns on but then quickly restarts...

    You could be right with the ram, I don't have a lower powered GPU to hand unfortunately EC FW is some strange update they recommend you do before updating from one BIOS to another but isn't a necessity as far as I'm aware

    [SOLVED] My PC won't turn on after upgrading from Ryzen 1500x to 3700x

    I updated the Bios to the relevant one's and installed the new CPU but when I hit the power button nothing happens. I have reinstalled the 1500x which works fine and made sure the bios was updated properly. Chipsets also installed correctly. I have also tried resetting CMOS. Mobo - Gigabyte...
