Problems with MSI A320M Pro and Ryzen 3 3200G setup
If you're having trouble starting, an A320 motherboard may need a Beta BIOS upgrade (not available on every model) to work with a third-generation Ryzen (Zen2) processor. To achieve this, you'd also require a first-generation Ryzen (Zen) CPU to finish the BIOS update, enabling the use of the R3 3200G APU or CPU.

The 3200G is part of the Zen+ lineup, not Zen2, but your point stands. Only MSI offers fully supported boards, like the A320 Max series. For everything else, it’s risky. It could be a mix. LPX and Ryzen aren’t particularly strong together unless you’re using older models that were still B die. Later versions of LPX are questionable, often don’t overclock and usually need an overvoltage to function properly.
For a cost-effective build, the ASRock B450M PRO4 is a solid choice. It's one of the more affordable B450 models yet delivers decent VRM performance suitable for an APU setup. You can find it here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dQgzK8/...b450m-pro4
