Question AMD Ryzen 5 5600x doesn't work on b450 tomahawk for some reason.

[Floyd2137]

Hi, I upgraded my CPU from Ryzen 5 2600 to Ryzen 5 5600x and there is a problem, after boot computer shows me that there is "no signal". My mother board is MSI tomahawk b450. I checked compatibility of my board to the 5600x, it says that I need beta bios, I installed it, but there is nothing changed still the same issue. No broken pins, GPU(RTX 2070) is fine and my old Ryzen is working fine. Can someone help me?

You need to install the correct BIOS in order to boot that CPU. Install your old CPU. Download to the most recent BIOS for your motherboard. Be sure to pay attention as you may need to work up to the newest version.

Hi Floyd2137. In addition to keeping this forum thread updated, I recommend that you also reach out to MSI support: (626) 271-1004

MSI's support hours just opened up 40 minutes ago. In addition to phone support, they have a live chat option available from the link above (lower right hand corner of hot-line webpage).

Addendum: While I still think your best chance at a solution is to reach out to MSI support, I have one request of you:

Would you mind taking a current photo of the your motherboard, uploading it to Imgur, and sharing the link here? In the spirit of resolving your issue, I just wondered if there is some piece of info that could be gleaned from the photograph.
