Diagnose issues following a PC upgrade.
Diagnose issues following a PC upgrade.
Hello, I recently purchased some PC components to upgrade from my Ryzen 1600 and 1060 with 6GB RAM. So far, I haven’t managed to get a signal to the monitor. Here’s a summary of my setup: The upgrade path was Ryzen 1600 → Ryzen 5700X3D (with a new cooler) and BIOS version compatible with my B350-F motherboard; the 1060 6GB → MSI 4070 Ti (B grade, not original); Corsair CS550M → Phanteks AMP GH 750W 80+ Gold; and two RAM kits (16GB each) that worked before. Before the upgrade, I used T-Force Vulcan Z Team Group RAM sticks. The issue is that the PC doesn’t send any signal to the monitor. Peripherals still work, but when I switch the DP cable or unplug it, the monitor just shows “no signal” again. I’ve tried reseating the RAM, using only one stick at a time, removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes before reinserting, and even swapping the PSU (though I’m using a different one to avoid extra cables). I’m unsure if any of these steps helped or if there’s something else I should check. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Your BIOS isn’t supported, so you should revert to your previous CPU. Make sure your BIOS is up to date—ASUS has improved its support recently. Your current setup might not work anymore.
Everyone cranked up except the GPU and power supply, which weren’t in use. I also attempted to disable the PSU’s hybrid mode. I connected the old PSU directly to the CPU, the 24-pin SATA for the boot drive, and the 1060, but the issues persisted, except the CPU indicator now shows green instead of white. I’m considering swapping the CPU to test further, since I think there aren’t many other options left.
After swapping the CPU, I successfully got the PC running in BIOS. Whether to refresh the BIOS depends on your compatibility; you can test it again if you're certain the new parts work. Trying it with the old CPU alongside the new GPU and PSU is a good idea to confirm everything functions properly.
Sure, would you like to test the new CPU on a different motherboard?
In power everything depends on the old PSU or just the 1060? If you only supply power to the 1060 it won’t function.
Alright so with 1600 + the new PSU and GPU, still a white light near the cpu and no signal on the monitor Plus it shut itself down after a little over a minute i should mention that when I tried with the old components, it said the pc needed to be repaired because it couldn’t access something in the boot drive, but I’m pretty sure everything was connected properly
