Question New CPU and RAM now no signal

[Bailey_Block]

Just installed New CPU and RAM but i have no signal now. My mouse also does not work. All LEDs are powering up and Ram sticks are also glowing so it seems like everything is fine, I unplugged cables and plugged them back in but still no signal.

Is this the first CPU for this board(New build) or did you have another one in it? 3600X is supported since bios version P5.80
If it was sitting on the shelf it may not have come with the newest BIOS for a 3600X. AMD had a program to help, they would let you borrow a CPU that would boot and then update your bios and then send it back to AMD.

So i bought the PC brand new and now just doing upgrades, this is the second CPU going into it along with new RAM. It all worked fine before this, The only thing that was done was a new CPU and new Ram along with a new heatsink. I believe i need a bios update but does that mean i have to put in the old CPU again?

Yes, you have to put the old CPU back in and update the BIOS

On Cary Holzman's videos on YouTube, he always updates to the latest bios when working or building a PC
