I recently bought a Ryzen 3 2200G to put on my current system and make in my HTPC.

my current system:
Ryzen 5 1600
asrock b350m pro4
16 gb ddr4 3000 mhz
Rx 480 4gb

after I updated the bios, and put the ryzen 3 2200G my pc wont boot.


I assumed that if I put my Ryzen 5 1600 it will boot, but It doesn't boot either.

I posted a thread about this issue and the person who was helping me got banned.

I tried everything he said:

clear CMOS
RAM reseat
CPU reseat


and still doesn't work.


I have read one article about the same thing but in reversed, he mistakenly downgraded his bios.

and the other guy suggested that he need an older cpu that fits his bios version to re-flash the bios version.

My brother has a Ryzen 5 2600x on his main rig right now, so maybe I can use that to re-flash the bios suited for my Ryzen 5 1600.
 
can u move your ram stick to second slot from cpu?
then reset cmos:
turn off psu switch, switch clrcmos1 jumper on mobo to pin2-3 position, few time press power button or short power pins to discharge psu, switch back clrcmos1 jumper to 1-2 pin position, switch psu back on
start up your pc, it may take few minutes to startup with few powerdown/ups, so no rush here, it has to learn how to run your hardware first
if it takes longer than 5 minutes, bios might be bricked
