Light indicates issue with CPU, prevents startup.
#1 I just upgraded from a ryzen 7 1700 to a 3700x and when I boot the pc after putting in the 3700x the debug light for the CPU staus on fans at full speed gpu on but no video output and my peripherals dont turn on either. I've tried remounting 3 times. I've made sure all the cables are in place multiple times and the BIOS was updated a couple months ago. I'm at a total loss. Please send any suggestions my way. Thanks. I have... RTX 2070 Ryzen 7 3700x 16gb DDR4 B350 tomahawk
Set up the 1700 and refresh the BIOS to version 3700X. If the 1700 remains unavailable after updating the BIOS, skip it and proceed with the 3700X. Note that some older CPU models might not work with the new compatibility support since the BIOS storage limits its capabilities. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-TOMAHAWK Good Luck! Additional note: After flashing the 1700, reset the CMOS before installing the 3700X for the first time.
Reset the CMOS. Put one stick of RAM in slot A1 and retry. Otherwise, the board seems stuck due to the 3700x installation. After several attempts, hopefully it will work again. My Prime B450 did this before when I changed a memory package once. You might also want to re-seat the CPU (1700) if needed.
I've given it my best shot with everything I tried, but nothing worked out. I'm starting to think about getting a new graphics card. Thanks for all your support!
