ASRock 990FX Extreme3 with a AMD FX-8320 Vishera CPU

[Marcus Mccoy]

i recently built a new pc but for some reason it wont boot up the case fans come on but the gpu doesnt power on and there's no picture. i remember seeing something about maybe needing a bios update for the cpu to be compatible. could this be the root of all my problems?

No your CPU and mobo should work right out of the box, check cable for proper connection!

FX-8320 is not a supported processor on the ASRock 990FX Extreme3.

shouldnt it still boot up the gpu though?

 

[gregeroler]

I have exactly the same motherboard and problem as you. try booting off the windows install disk and see if it does anything? It has now booted up my computer normally. Although my graphics card always turned on.

My bad for digging up. But now 990fx extreme3 is compatible with fx 8320, right?

All I need to do is update BIOS via usb stick when I get the mobo, right?
