I purchased a Ryzen 7 3700x this Christmas to replace my Ryzen 5 1600x. I ensured my power supply provided ample output (operating at 650W with 80+ Gold certification). After installing the new CPU and connecting it, the CPU indicator on my MOBO activated. (The manual indicates this signals a malfunction.) All fans spun up and the lights came on, except for booting. My Gigabyte AB-350 Gaming 3 supports this model according to their site. I reinstalled the 1600x and it booted right away. Could there be any BIOS adjustments needed? What’s the likelihood I got a defective processor? Did I miss anything? Thanks ahead!

Ensure your BIOS is updated to version F40 or higher.

It seems you need to replace the BIOS to run this new CPU. The Ryzen 3rd generation came out after the motherboard was released, which means you’ll need to upgrade your motherboard’s BIOS to support it.
