[gach]

So i downgrading my processor from R5 4600g to R3 2200g and its show no signal i try reseating ram, change ram, reset cmos, reseat power cable, reseat processor. nothing work, idk what to do anymore

Specs :
ECS A320AM4_M3D
R3 2200 G

IGPU
Here what i got from bios ver log :
Only Support Matisse /Renoir / Vermeer / Cezanne CPU .
(Update AgesaPI to ComboAM4v2PI1207

You should consider downgrading the BIOS to an earlier version (like B0). That may resolve the issue.

Hey there

What motherboard are you using?

I'd say the issue is because the newer bios will give support for your old processor (the 4600g) , but looses support for first gen CPU's (the 3200g).

Rolling back may help. But it's not certain.

Why are you downgrading anyway?

is it possible to downgrade bios without supported cpu?

You may need to downgrade incrementally. Meaning doing in steps downward until you find one that can support both the older and newer CPUs.

But, yes, you'll need a compatible CPU, I would think to start the BIOS change process.

You might be able to start with the newer CPU and swap to the older one when the BIOS attempts to restart, but this is more likely to end in a bricked motherboard, I would think.

You will need a compatible CPU to perform any BIOS changes. Maybe find/borrow a 3rd generation CPU to do this.

r3 3200g is supported?

i think its dead end

The link above will give you the info needed regarding what CPUs work with what BIOS versions.
