Msi motherboard cpu

[mrsmershowns]

I have two msi mobos, both of them don’t recognise the cpu so don’t boot, the cpu debug light comes on. I’ve tested the cpu and all other components and they work fine, seems to just be my two msi mobos, one is a b350 tomahawk and the other is a b350 krait gaming. The motherboard I used to test is gigabyte and all is fine, the cpu is a ryzen 5 1600x

Ram: two 8gb gskill ripjaw
Gfx: ASUS 1060
PSU: EVGA 850w gold+

I’ve tried using one ram stick in each slot, swapping them, I’ve also tried all other components on another motherboard like I said, and they work.

what CPU is it? I guess Ryzen 2xxx? If so, could be BIOS too old on those two MSI MBs, contact AMD to borrow an old AM4 CPU to update BIOS: https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/2Gen-Ryzen-AM4-System-Bootup.aspx

What CPU?

You sure you've got everything connected as is required? On a B350 board, there should be no issues with getting a 1600X to run.

so you have 1600X, shouldn't be caused by mb then, what rams are you using? two sticks or single stick? CPU debug light sometimes could be caused by ram. List all components pls.
