[SOLVED] Incompatible?

Okay so I have a ASRock b450m Mobo and I had a problem with bootlooping, I bought a bunch of new stuff but it still bootloops, I looked and I noticed that the a12-9800 something amd CPU is not under the supported CPUs do you think this is the cause? Keep in mind it won't even post

If not in CPU support list, it will not work. a12-9800 is pre-Ryzen just adapted to AM4 socket so it will not work on all MBs.

All the supported CPUs (Summit Ridge, Pinnacle Ridge, Raven Ridge, Picasso, and Matisse) for that motherboard are based on the Zen core. The a12 (Bristol Ridge) is based on Excavator ... totally different.

If you are interested, this is a pretty good read : https://www.techspot.com/review/1486-amd-a12-9800/
