Question Boot issues after hardware upgrades ?

[docblodgett]

I recently upgraded my computer with:

Mobo: MSI Pro-650-P WiFi
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7700, with stock cooler
RAM: G-Skill 6600 AMD EXP DDR5
PSU:EVGA Supernova G3, Gold 80w
Drives
already had Samsung 500GB sata drive with Win 10 OS installed.
Plus another hard drive,

I put it together and it would not power on, cleared CMOS and then did BIOS flash update, finally logo came on screen then Windows log on, worked, shut down for the night, next evening turned on, it took around
5 mins for it to boot up but it did, worked fine, except I had to install AMD drivers for WIFI, which then worked,

Today turned on, slow boot again but it worked. I did some stuff for job, good to go, then read about this problem might be bios, so tried fix nothing happened, then retried and saved in Bios, then it froze.

I waited ten mins nothing happened frozen Bios screen, shut down manually, tried to turn on, power to fans, GPU but did not boot after ten mins. Shut down, cleared CMOS, then tried flash Bios with updated driver still nothing on booting up.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Did I brick this mother board? What would be a better board with this rig for around $300.00 dollars?

Not sure about "already had Samsung 500GB sata drive with Win 10 OS installed."

Did you take the SATA drive from another system/motherboard and then install it directly on the new motherboard?

If so, that can be very problematic.

A clean Windows 10 install is needed.

Yes, I have a drive from previous motherboard with Win 10 on it. So I need to somehow back up the other data on this drive and using windows 10 key do a new install of windows on this drive?

One other question, when upgrading system should I be using a new psu also just a question? So, I can just use the win 10 usb and do clean install on same system because I changed the motherboard and cpu. ?

You need to do a new OS install in this new system.

Then, you can probably retrieve your personal files (not applications) from the old OS drive.

You install on the new drive with ONLY that drive connected.
Reconnect the old one later.
