[SOLVED] ASRock B450M-HDV mATX Motherboard and Ryzen 3 2200G

[trickerzyt]

I built a new pc and used a ASRock B350M PRO4 and it wouldnt boot with my cpu. The problem i think was the BIOS and seen as i couldnt updated the bios, i thought i should get a new mbd so i decided to choose the ASRock B450M-HDV mATX Motherboard . Before i buy it, would it be compatible with my cpu or will it need any bios updates??

Yes, that motherboard will work with that CPU without any BIOS update.

would the ab350m pro4 not work cos of the bios?

would the other motherboard - ab350m pro4 - not work cos of the BIOS

It would need to have BIOS rev 4.50 or newer to support the 2200G.

yes.
That is a first gen Ryzen motherboard, and you have a second gen Ryzen proccer. All your motherboard really needs is a bios update, and I'm pretty sure AMD has a bios updating kit that would let you do it without replacing your motherboard.
