[SOLVED] No display asrock b450m hdv4.0

[haithemmmm]

I am building a PC for the second time, i have already built a gaming pc that works perfectly
this time i wanted to build a simpler pc with no graphics card.
the parts are :
asrock b450m hdv r4.0
amd ryzen 5 3400g
the case and the 500w psu are from aerocool
ssd m2 240gb ws green
I got no display after the installation(
I know that the problem could be that the bios does not support my cpu, and that i need to update it
I tried that by putting the cpu and gpu from the perfectly working PC on the new mb, but again no display
I am very confused please help.

Could it be that the mb does not support rtx 2060?

The Ryzen 5 3400g (depending on the version) requires BIOS 3.20 or later.
There is a BIOS 2.30. If you are running this BIOS...odds are it won't work.

I know, thats why i tried cpu 2600 + rx 2060 because amd ryzen 5 2600 doesnt have an internal gpu
but still same issue no display

Then I would suspect PSU.
You are cutting it close as it is.
What model Aerocool?
From what I've seen they have some pretty bad models.

aerocool 500w vx plus

If you look on this PSU tier list....that model PSU is on tier D.

Tier D is Tier D • Recommended only for very cheap, iGPU systems

I suspect it's probably the PSU.

I understand your suspicion, but the same psu works fine with a b450 aorus from gigabyte and same cpu 3400g

It doesn't take much when you are cutting it close and you are cutting it close.

Very helpful.

Very helpful.

NVidia recommends 500 watts.
You are right on the line and you are using a crap supply.
I am not surprised.

 

[haithemmmm]

Okay

 

[haithemmmm]

What do you recommend?

What do you recommend?

Well....the tier list gives you a good idea of what's good and what isn't....but personally...

My main go to companies for power supplies are Corsair and Seasonic. You almost can't go wrong with either brand.

As far as models...for Corsair lately I have been going with the RMx models. It's a very sold platform...it's gets great reviews....it's very quiet as the fan doesn't come on until a certain load condition is met.

As far as Seasonic....I have a

• PRIME Ultra Platinum, 80 PLUS Platinum 850W, Fully Modular, ATX Power Supply

arriving today.

This is a very top of the line Seasonic...but there are other Seasonics that are more reasonable like the Focus series which gets great reviews as well.

 

[jay32267]

as far as wattage....I'd go with 600w+ but if you plan on upgrading anything you might want to go more.

 

[haithemmmm]

600w is enough for 3400g + something like 1650 in the future? or i should get highr

 

[jay32267]

Just so you are aware....the RTX 2060 is about twice as fast as a GTX 1650.

The 1650 also draws less power.

Both of these should work fine with a good 600W power supply.

I don't think the 2600 is going to support much MORE than an RTX 2060 very well.....so I wouldn't go higher than 2060 with that CPU....but I think the 2060 and the 1650 should work well.

jay32267 just one last question
can i upgrade it straigt to version 2.30 or i need to install all the previous ones
