Ryzen 7 2700X + Gigabyte AX370M no POST

[nollie.zijdemans]

So I just purchased the new R7 2700X and I installed it on my new Gigabyte AX370M Gaming 3 Motherboard. But when I try to boot the system, everything turns on, but there is no sign of a POST. I don't know why it does that. I can't update my bios because I don't have another Ryzen CPU, but the Gigabyte site says that this Mobo is Ryzen 2 ready. I already tried switching RAM slots with one stick and a different PCIe slot for my GPU. Does anyone have a solution?

GPU: GTX 1080TI
RAM: Corsair Vengance 2x8GB 3200MHz (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 S 700W

Make sure that you've inserted the cpu correctly. I'm not familiar with Ryzen, do they still use pins for their cpus? If so check for any bent pins. Also double-check your cables, like the cpu fan.

Try physically removing the graphics card and reseating it.

If that does nothing, try using a single stick of RAM.

Tried that, but sadly still nothing.

Checked all of that, but no such luck

Ok, still, not POSTing usually indicates hardware failure. Try booting it without the gpu using only integrated graphics.
Also, some motherboards include support for newer hardware via bios upgrades. Cross reference your mobo's bios version with those listed in the site.

It's most likely that your motherboard simply doesn't have a BIOS capable of running the 2000-series CPUs. Just because the manufacturer released such a BIOS update, and may have started putting it on new boards they produced, doesn't automatically mean that all the existing stock in stores will suddenly have that new BIOS. That's why, unless one already has access to a first-generation Ryzen processor, it would probably be better to go with an X470 or B450 board, since you can be sure those will have a compatible BIOS installed. Unless there were a sticker on the motherboard's box specifically stating that it supports the new CPUs, I wouldn't expect it to without an update. Of course, I've seen some online retailers advertising certain boards as "Ryzen 2000 Ready", only to have user reviews stating that their board didn't come with the latest BIOS. Those stores really shouldn't be doing that unless they're certain that all the boards they have in stock have a capable BIOS installed.
