Hey everybody. So I decided to upgrade.
New parts:
Ryzen 5 5600X
Corsair vengeance 16gb 3600 oc
Gigabyte b550 Gaming x v2 with f15 bios (requires f10 for ryzen 5600X)
Corsair psu bronze 750watt.
Kept:
Sapphire R590 nitro plus
Soundblaster Gaming.
Western digital 3d 500gb( Disk formatted and empty )
Motherboard sees all components (cpu, ram, hdd, flash drive etc) although ram speed is shown as 2666.
Gigabyte logo is shown correctly and I enter bios normally. Problem is whenever I try to install new os (win 10 home) whether it comes with cd or flash drive, PC goes black screen and / or reboots.
Tried the hdd on another computer and works fine. Tried another PSU and same thing happens. Gpu works as well. Also tried a few boot changes (1st DVD or flash drive or no DVD at all or another disk) , same result.
Took the whole PC to have it checked and they told me that they tried 3600x CPU on it and works fine so maybe the 5600x is faulty. Gigabytes site says that the motherboard is OK with Ryzen 5600x. They also told me to start connecting each component in turn, ie only cpu with gpu, then 1 memory, then second etc.
Is there anything else to try in order to avoid to send back the CPU? Rolling back bios from f15 to f10, which is the minimum version to run, would help?
Thanks in advance!
