It looks like you need a BIOS update. Your motherboard is running a BIOS version supported for that first gen Ryzen processor. Flashing the newest BIOS on a board is very easy. Just look up a quick tutorial for your board model. Once you have the latest BIOS version installed, your motherboard will recognize that third gen Ryzen processor. Hope this helps!

PS, I just saw you updated it already, try to find a newer version, idk if thats the newest one out there for your board if its still not posting.

It’s on the newest bios. Is it worth back dating to the 1st bios that supports Ryzen 3’s???

 

[lambo7]

Ryzen 3rd gen

I would give it a shot. Find the previous version of the one youre on now. Dont go all the way back to the first supported version.

I flashed an older bios and it’s now working

Hey @lambo7, I have almost the exact same problem. My bios alredy updated to P5.90, and when I tried to switch my old 1200 to 3600, I could only able to enter cmos setup after a minute, and forever loading windows.

Tried to downgrade the bios to one that older than P5.90 but it says invalid file, and I read somewhere, it cant be downgraded using instant flash tools from the cmos setting, and we could only flash it using AMIBIOS method.

Do you mind sharing how you actually downgrade the bios and able to solve the problem? Some says it a RAM problem and some says that I might need to do fresh windows install. But I saw other cases where that also doesnt work.

Really need some assist here buddy. Thanks
