No display on Monitor after Ryzen 2nd Gen Upgrade

[auro2k15]

Hi All,

I bought the following new components in order to upgrade my desktop to a Ryzen 2nd gen system.

Old Components:
Processor: AMD FX8320
Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming
RAM: G-Skill Ripjaws 8GBx2 (1366Mhz) DDR3
Monitor: LG Flatron E2041 (Max Res. 1600x900)

New Components:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700
Motherboard: MSI x470 Gaming Plus
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GBx2 DDR4 3000Mhz (CMR16GX4M2C3000C16W)
Monitor: Samsung LC24F390FHWXXL 24" Curved Monitor (Max Res. 1980x1080)

Components Retained:
Graphics Card: MSI GTX 970 4gb OC edition (Red-Black edition)
PSU: Seasonic 620 M12II EVO Fully Modular
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250gb
Cooling System: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid 240
Cabinet: Antec P8

Issue faced:

As Graphics Card is out of warranty, opened it up to re apply thermal paste.

After assembling, when I powered on my system, all the lights inside my cabinet lit up however, the monitors are not showing anything, It was flickering between VGA/HDMI and then went into power saver mode.
I'm pretty sure setup the system perfectly. Not sure why nothing is coming up in the monitor.
I hooked up my previous monitor into the system and even that is not showing any display this time.

I switched the video output from the graphics to the onboard one of the motherboard still no luck.

Any help in this regard will be very helpful.

I will be going back to the store tomorrow to have my build checked.

I am not planning on any overclocking of sorts.

Any suggestions till then would be very helpful.

Thank you.

Hi, Try testing different graphics card. The onboard would not work with that CPU.

I dont have any spare graphics card with me and this card has been working since the last 3 years and was working the day before as well.

"As Graphics Card is out of warranty, opened it up to re apply thermal paste."
It might be the reason why not working.

not sure if that is the case...i was careful enough while opening it up and then again putting it back together?

 

[alexoiu]

Hard to say. I'd try testing the card in different pc, or different card in my setup before any other tests.

i suppose i can get it tested tomorrow at the store itself...

Please post back the result.

Hi All,

I found that the issue was with the RAM. It was not compatible with the motherboard or processor.

I went back to the store and got it replaced with a G-Skill Trident Z RGB 8GBx2 3000Mhz kit.

Issue got fixed and am happily gaming like hell...
