Hey I need some help. I just put together my new build and it’s not booting into the bios, just a blank screen. I was hoping someone could help me trouble shoot because I’m not sure where to begin. The case fans go, the cpu fan is going, the rgb memory is lit up, drives are spinning but no bios. I’m using the Msi b450 tomahawk max with a ryzen 5 3600. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you have the BIOS updated to the latest compatible version for that CPU https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX. Its rare but still possible to get a board that hasn't been updated for Ryzen 3000 chips.


With that board you can update it via a USB drive and the Flash BIOS Button by the IO ports. https://www.msi.com/blog/the-latest-bios-for-amd-300-400-series-motherboard

Well after messing around, now the cpu EZdebug light is on so I tried reseating it and still nope. I guess maybe it’s a bad cpu
