[SOLVED] MSI B350 Tomahawk not posting

[najh14]

MSI B350 Tomahawk not posting: the CPU light is on, from the research I did I thought it was an incompatibility with the RAM so I went up to 3200mhz and I'm still not posting. I have also tried clearing the CMOs and reseating the CPU neither solved the issue. Also tried starting the PC with just the motherboard, CPU and RAM but nothing on that either.

Hardware:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
RAM: Corsair LPX 3200mhz 2x8gb
PS: Apevia 800w Jupiter
GPU: 2x geforce gtx 1050
Storage: 2 1tb SSD's

It's probably the board , if a B350 board doesn't have a current BIOS it won't boot the 2700x. A B450 board will boot THE 2700x right out of the box.
Get a boot kit or a B450 board.

The board's BIOS needs an update. try contacting AMD for a boot kit: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-100
Or us a supported CPU to update the board's BIOS, and then install the 2700X

@SR-71 Blackbird Do you think an Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero would work or should I go for the B450?

The MSI B450 I posted above is a great board.
That PSU your running should also be replaced........Very poor quality
