Question Downgraded from a 5 5600G to a 1 700x now pc won't boot

[Lezog]

I changed the cpu in the HP Victus 15L prebuild to a ryzen 1 700x and now the pc wont boot. All fans start spinning when powering the pc including the gpu. So far i have tried to, Reset CMOS, switched RAM places and tried booting with only one ram stick, checked all connections and unplugged and plugged them all back in. I have confirmed that the 1 700x is working by trying it on another motherboard. Guess that it could be some motherboard related issue but can't seem to get a reason to why. Any suggestions on what i could do to get it up back and running would be appreciated.

full system spec?

2x4GB 3200mhz unbranded ram sticks
HP motherboard (idk)
Gtx 1650
500gb m.2 ssd
Unaware of PSU wattage, but shouldn't be the problem right?

This is probably a CPU/motherboard compatibility issue. The motherboard may not recognize the 1st generation Ryzen and there likely isn't a way to force it to.

Why this change any way?

Uppgrading the CPU in my main PC, bought this prebuilt of FB to try and swap CPU and then sell it off again

You may have better luck with a 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen. One with a 65w TDP.

Do you think its possible to install an older version of bios without going into boot. IDK if this motherboard has such an option

I doubt that is an option.

That may not improve anything anyway. It is an HP. There was a very specific set of CPUs that HP sold with that model. You will need to find that list and pick a CPU that HP supported.
If you had a generic motherboard, this would be simpler. But HP can play by their own rules.

If you run the system on the bios which makes the 5600g compatible, the bios loses support for 1st gen Ryzen.

Once you mobo has that updated bios, you cannot roll back anymore. It's a real bummer.

Applicable for a generic motherboard. HP may NEVER have had first gen support for a specific motherboard.

Yes, that's a possibility alright.
