Hi! I recently upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 5 1600AF to a Ryzen 7 5700. My MOBO is a Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2. Here's what I did:

  • Upgraded BIOS
  • Installed new CPU
  • Everything worked fine for a couple of hours.
  • It crashed during a game.
  • "Preparing automatic repairs" message showed up and got stucked.
  • Turned PC off and on and it showed no display.
  • Reinstalled RAM sticks.
  • Reseted CMOS.
Nothing changed after all of these steps so I put my old CPU back and it worked ok. I'm starting to think the CPU is not compatible with the MOBO but then why did it work for a couple of hours? Honestly this is breaking my mind. Any help would be appreciated.

Reset the BIOS: reset the BIOS settings to their default values. You can usually do this by removing the CMOS battery from the motherboard for a few minutes and then reinserting it. Make sure to disconnect the power cable before attempting this. Remove and reseat the RAM modules.

Not sure if you re-installed your operating system, but that wouldn't be a bad thing to try. Sometimes drivers can get a bit weird when you make a hardware change like that. If it weren't compatible with the mobo, I imagine it wouldn't work at all. The fact that you got the "automatic repairs" message tells me your operating system is having issues with the new CPU. Resetting the BIOS isn't a bad idea either.

Since you have the old CPU in now, I'd recommend backing up your data to an external drive, then install the new CPU and go through a fresh Windows installation (assuming that's your OS).

Already done that and nothing. I tried the CPU with a different MOBO and same thing happened.

I re installed the OS with my old CPU before changing the CPU. With the new one I can't access the BIOs so I can't install the OS. It's very strange, I already tried a new MOBO and still no display

well the ryzen 7 5700 isnt on its compatibility list and gigabyte boards are fiddly. it should work cause its a down clocked and cut up ryzen 5700x but its possible that the chips stepping is diffrent.

that being said they did add the 5700x3d.

make sure your bios is using
