Hi i just want some advice on troubleshooting my build


My specs before:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3400g

MB: MSI B450M Mortar Max

RAM: GSkillz Trident Z 16GB

GPU: Asus Dual RTX 3060Ti


I have updated my bios about a week ago before upgrading my CPU to Ryzen 5 5600X now that i installed this to my pc it wont even show the Arsenal logo so i can go to bios, the DRAM led is lit. CPU fan, case fan, GPU and RAM seem to be powered but no display. I tried reseating the RAM but same thing happened.


After reading some similar issues I think the issue is because i have xmp on before i change CPU. I changed the RAM clock to 3200MHz. Do I need to reset bios to default settings?


I don't know if I did it wrong but I tried clearing cmos, but after that it still same issue.


Do I need to M-Flash to update bios again? I hope someone could give any advice on how to troubleshoot this one. Thank you
 
Solution
Reseating the ram to slot 1 and 3 did it for me! Thank you!
If that's slot 1 and 3 counting away from the CPU then that's very strange as the usual preferred slots are 2 and 4 for a 2-DIMM memory configuration. If it is, you may either have a defect in the motherboard or one of the DIMM's wasn't properly seated before.

How and when did you clear CMOS? Just do it again to be sure: turn power off and disconnect it from the PSU, remove the coin cell battery and then short the two reset pins together for about 30 sec's to a minute. Look in your manual for the location of the CMOS reset pins, it's easy to get the wrong ones.

You don't need to update the BIOS again after CMOS reset.

I see so did it wrong. So I have to remove the coin cell battery first before shorting the pins. Thank you will try it again. Now I need to confirm the actual location of the JBAT1 pins cause I'm not sure if the pins I found is the correct one. Thank you :)
