[SOLVED] B450 build

[alternifolia]

Hello,
I build PC with following parts:
MB: Aorus b450 Elite
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 570 ARMOR 4GB
RAM: G.skill f4-3000C16D-16GISB (2x8GB)
PSU: Corsair VS550
SSD: ADATA 256GB XPG SX8200

I cannot boot anything, RAM led on MB is flashing and GPU is not working aswell. Am I able to do anything to run this PC?

That motherboard requires a bios update, to work with an R5 3600. You need to either update the bios with a 1st, or 2nd gen chip, swap to an R5 2600, or get an x570 board. That particular board lacks bios flashback.

I thought I would be able to make BIOS update with 3600 on board before later actions required to boot system. What might be cheapest gpu to make update?

 

[logainofhades]

Cheapest CPU would probably be a Ryzen 3 2200g, unless you can find a used 1st gen cpu, like a Ryzen 3 1200.

I'll check tomorrow what can I do, thanks at this moment.

AMD is offering a boot kit for this.

Or could could buy a Athlon 200GE(~$50).

Selling the 2200g, might be easier, than a 200ge. I did forget about those though. Dual cores shouldn't exist in 2019.
