Question Black screen new mobo, CPU and ram

[Maclordian]

Bought this new upgrade package
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Mobo: msi b550 gaming plus
Ram: hyperx fury ddr4 3200 mhz

I installed it all with my gtx 970 strix
I turned it on, it didn't boot from my windows harddisk so I did that manually from bios I went in open csgo to try out my new setup after 5 minutes my pc crashes and now when I turn it on everything starts fans leds and everything but my screen just stays black.

I've tried playing round with my ram sticks I've now but them back in slot 2 and 4 (A2 and B2) as they was first time I plugged em in.

I've tried taking out my GPU and put it back in


And if it helps when I turn on my pc CPU led goes on then dram and then VGA but then the CPU led turns off and dram and VGA stays on solid

That CPU requires the latest BIOS.

7C56v14.zip

Do you know if it has it?

Because I wouldn't be surprised if the wrong BIOS let you do that.

Here's the thing.....that CPU just came out in Q4 of 2020.....so I think it's very possible your MB didn't have the newest BIOS.
If it doesn't...you either need a CPU that will run under the BIOS you have currently (to update it).....OR....if you MB has the BIOS flashback ability....you don't need a CPU to update it. I'm not sure if your MB has it or not.

Well i havent hot another CPU that fits i just bought the mobo with the CPU to make sure IT fit in

Also they was bought together as a package from a legit site so would be weird for them to sell it If it wouldn't go together

Your MB has

"Flash BIOS Button with Optmized ClearCMOS Function: Simply use a USB key to flash any BIOS within seconds. "

I would update it to 7C56v14.zip and try it.

Also your "windows harddisk" copy of Windows has the drivers, etc.. for your OLD motherboard and OLD CPU. You need to do a clean installation of Windows 10 for it to work properly.

Because things like that happen all the time with PCs.
And if you didn't do a clean Windows install on your drive....you need to do that as well. You can't just swap drives when changing a motherboard.

Have you tried and reset the BIOS?
Power down....take the battery out for a few minutes and put it back in.

Yeah i tried just before taking that round battery out 2 mins nothibg happened

 

[jay32267]

....and also.....being the dram light is on....I'd be trying different memory configurations....which I see you have....but I might fiddle with that a bit more.

So basically i swapped out my gtx 970 with some trash i got laying and signal Came Up, did i kill my gtx 970 by turning my PC on and going into CSGO?

Go to MSI's webpage and download all the latest drivers for that board. It probably booted up and then windows started downloading drivers for everything, when your screen went blank it was probably doing an update.

Using the older GPU that works download DDU and uninstall and video drivers that are on the computer, install the 970 and see if it will boot. If it does download the latest driver from Nvidia.

Well....in your first post you mention the VGA light was on.
Perhaps there was something wrong with it....at that time.
