New computer build, you guessed it no post! Any advice please help.

Hey guys,
So I have a new computer build issue with no post!

This has been my first build in a long time (almost 20yrs) so re learning some old skills with modern tech.

So no signal from HDMI, from GPU, or mother board. Removed GPU to try just mother board and vga, still nothing. Tried one stick of ram, in each slot and swapped ram in all configuration I can think of. CPU is seated correctly and check and double checked to ensure no damage to pins etc...

Any ideas? At this point I’m willing to sacrifice a goat to the computer gods...!

Have done my best to clear CMOS, and double check all cables, and cards are all connected correctly.

Some AMD B350 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Raven Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions

So I may need another cpu to get it running? Just to update the bios....

If you are 100% sure everything is in the right way then you'll probably need another cpu maybe you can go to a local retailer to ask for help

Is there a way to check the version of my bios, without getting a post? I know it needs to be above 3202, and I have the current bios version on a USB ready to update.... just need to know what the current bios is, to know if that’s my issue!!!

 

[yorben_vandyck]

Do you have the mobo manufacture date?

There might be a sticker on the motherboard box which states which BIOS version is installed. Otherwise, no.

AMD does offer a free processor in order to update the BIOS yourself. You can check that out here: AMD Boot Kit

I read on another post on here that the barcode on the MOBO, contains the version of the bios. I have one on here with 4 digits seperate, 0902... could that be my version.. I know I’m grasping at straws.

 

[Wolfshadw]

Huh...

Given that there actually is a BIOS version 0902, that'd be a good guess!

Well the manual says second edition February 2017, so i guess some time after that!

People thank you so much! Now I think I may know the problem.

Just have to figure how to correct it lol

Quite possible. Don't forget to check the AMD Boot Kit link I gave above. Might be faster to check your local PC shops, though.

So it seems that yes, I did need to update the bios. However there was a fault in the MOBO, so in the end I had to swap it out.

Contacted supplier and they offer a free bios update service. But it wouldn’t take any connection etc.

Replaced with a new MOBO, slightly small one unfortunately but I’m up and running.

Thanks so much for all your help and suggestions!
