Hi all,
This might be a nOOb question, but I would appreciate some advice.
Last year I bought a fairly basic PC, containing an Asus Prime A320-MK motherboard. As I saved up money, I have invested in a replacement SSD hard drive, 16gb memory and a 1050 GTX graphics card - all installed myself and running without issue.
Last month I bought a Ryzen 7 2700, dropped it straight in, changed to the supplied fan with the LED logo - processor fan & casing fans started; LEDs all lit up, drives spun, but no keyboard LEDs and my system wouldn't boot. After re-seating the processor, no difference. Changed back to the Ryzen 3 2200G and everything worked fine - straight into Windows 10, tried the Ryzen 7 again and no keyboard LEDs / no POST. In the end I sent it back and the supplier was great and I immediately got a full refund.
After checking the Asus support page a number of times (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-A320M-K/HelpDesk_CPU/ ) and checking that it was supported by my firmware (I'm running version 4207) I decided that as the processor is in the supported list that I would try to order another Ryzen 7 2700. Lo and behold, same problems.
Finally I noticed that despite ordering a 16mb L3 cache as per the supported processor list, they are actually shipping a 20mb L3 cache version. Would this be stopping the system from POSTing?
Many thanks in advance, Phil
