[SOLVED] Installed new CPU, system now stuck in an infinite boot loop.

[uaedoliBR]

Hello to anyone willing to help,
I recently changed my CPU from AMD ryzen 7 1800x to an AMD ryzen 5 3600x. Now before changing the CPU I updated my mother board to its latest setting on the manufactures website. After installing the CPU the computer booted without issue, I then proceeded to play Valorant for about 1-2 hours and then my pc restarted. It attempts to boot, then restarts and tries to "automatic repair tool" on the gigabyte screen then restarts and repeats this over and over again. I checked the pins of the CPU and they are perfect. The entire time I was playing Valorant I was monitoring my CPU performance and the temperature never exceeded 52 degrees Celsius (used CPUID HWMonitor). So I took out the 3600x and put the 1800x back in and the pc booted without issue.

Hardware:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600x / AMD Ryzen 7 1800x
Nvidia Gigabyte RTX 2060
16 GB DDR4 RAM (two 8GB sticks)
250GB HP SSD
1TB HDD
Mother Board is a Gigabyte B450M DS3H
PSU 600w Thermaltake TR2-600NL2NC

Can you show screenshots from CPU-Z - motherboard, memory, spd sections?

What BIOS version did you update from?

Do you want screen shots that i currently have with the 7 1800x in? i cant get screen shots from when i had the 3600x in unfortunately because as i said before the pc wont boot. Also i updated from version F.50 to F.60

Screenshots with 1800x will be fine.

I wanted to see motherboard section from CPU-Z.

Anyway - you have 2666mhz capable ram.

1. It is running at 2400mhz (not 2666mhz). You should fix that.
2. Command rate is 2T. With 2 modules command rate should be set to 1T instead. 2T setting is for 4 module configuration.

After you install new cpu, go into BIOS and reset BIOS settings to optimized defaults.
Then try to boot into windows. It may be necessary to boot into safe mode first.
If all goes well, then reboot into BIOS and fix ram settings as described above.

Reset CMOS.

Do it with a battery pull too...turn off, disconnect power, take out the coin cell battery, short the CMOS reset pins for a minute or so, then put battery back in and re-assemble.

I have done this already. I forgot to mention that in my original description of the problem. Thank you for the reply though.

This means i set each stick to 1333mhz opposed to the default 1200mhz?

Great...

With that done...you might have to manually set the DRAM voltage of 1.35V too (check your DRAM package for what they rate it at). It's not uncommon to have to do this as many BIOS's don't do it by default during the initializing process.
