Question No post on new build (Ryzen 5 5600G, ASUS Prime B450M A-II)

[steffona]

Hello,

I have recently built a rig with a Ryzen 5 5600G, with a B450 motherboard (which I have BIOS flashed). The system gets power; the fans spin and my keyboard lights up (however my mouse does not). When I plug in my HDMI cable to my motherboard, I have been unable to get a POST or display of any kind, despite flashing the BIOS, clearing the CMOS battery, ensuring each component works properly, and even using a DVI-D to HDMI adapter cable. I plan to get a graphics card later on, but at the moment I cannot afford the one I would like. Are there any other ideas/options I could try to get a display?

Just to be clear, you updated to BIOS version 2409 or greater?

Yes, I updated to version 3211. Did I need to update to 2409 first?

Nope, just need version 2409 or greater.

What CPU did you use to update the BIOS?

Try taking out all but 1 stick of RAM and see if it posts? (you didn't buy 4 individual sticks...did you??)

I only have the 5600G available to update the BIOS. I did some more research earlier and I think I will need to get a loaner CPU from AMD to complete the update. I also tried each of the RAM sticks and they don't seem to have any issues (I bought them in 2 sets of 2).

Unfortunately it sounds like yes, you'll need a 2000 or 3000 series CPU to do a BIOS update.

Your original post was misleading when you said you'd already updated the BIOS.

 

[--SID--]

2 kits of RAM are not guaranteed to work together because they're not tested as a matched kit. Return the 4 RAM sticks and get a kit of 2x 16GB.

That's what I figured. Thanks for your help!
