Hey, I'm looking for others who've faced problems upgrading their CPU on this motherboard. Whether it's from a RRREN 3 to 5 or 3 to 7. After encountering the issue, I've come across many unresolved threads, but MSDI still marks Ryzen 5/7 as compatible after a BIOS update. It's frustrating having a CPU that should work but isn't.

Make sure to update the BIOS before testing.

I have, I've tried. Several times and I'm curious now as to whether problem is after upgrading the cpu. As if I can find a large enough sample of people that have this unsolved issue then surely msi will do something right?

What processor are you experiencing issues with? What alternatives have you tried? Have you attempted everything: refreshing the BIOS, changing the RAM stick to different slots, removing the CMOS battery, unplugging the power cable, and pressing the start button several times (including holding for 10 seconds)? Have you verified the chip pins? Consider installing it without tightening the cooler—could your RAM be compatible with the new processor? It might work on your board... but?!
