Hey all,
Really hoping someone can help.
I've recently bought a new CPU (Ryzen 7 5700x3d) and upgraded the RAM for my PC, specs are below. I updated the BIOS to the latest version and had the PC boot using the old CPU without any issues. I then completed the CPU swap and put in the new sticks of ram. After installing everything the PC powered on, however wouldn't boot passed the manufacturer screen and I was unable to enter the BIOS.
I did a fair bit of tinkering, reset CMOS, tried reseating ram/using the old RAM to see if any issues but to no avail. The VGA light was lit up on the motherboard but there was no issue at all with the GPU prior to the upgrade. The GPU fans start to spin and then stop. I googled/tried anything I could and decided to purchase another motherboard (MSI b550 tomahawk).
I've flashed the bios using USB flash and then installed everything as usual. I'm now not even getting a manufacturer logo with the new motherboard and the DRAM light is showing (strangely no VGA light now). The GPU fans now power up correctly with seemingly no issues when using this new board. I've tried both sets of old RAM and the new ram and I'm still getting the error and no display at all. All lights are booting up correctly including GPU fans, CPU fans and everything looks to be starting correctly.
Anyone have any idea please?
