Hello, I recently upgraded my PC with these components: Ryzen 5 1600AF, GSkill Ripjaws 2x8gb, 3600Mhz CL19 RAM, ASUS TUF B450, Gaming Plus motherboard, Rx 570 PSU, 2x128gb SSDs (500gb HDD). The issue I'm facing is that the PC won't boot. It doesn’t even reach BIOS. My motherboard seller helped me with some troubleshooting. They used a Ryzen 5 1400 on the same board with my RAM, and it worked fine. Then they tried a Samsung 2400mhz RAM kit and Ryzen 5 1400, which also booted. After several tries, my CPU started working with the new RAM but stopped after a restart. I updated the BIOS for the CPU, but nothing changed. My question is whether I should keep trying to fix it or consider replacing the CPU altogether. The only concern is that it did boot once—shouldn’t that mean it’s not a bad chip? Thanks for your advice!

Reset the CMOS and test one stick at a time. Check if the CPU has any bent pins.

Thanks for your response. I've cleared the CMOS multiple times and tested each slot with one stick, but nothing worked. The CPU appears to have straight pins. All indicators light up and fans spin, yet the system remains inactive.

Test with a single stick at a time. If it consistently uses the 1400 setting, consider switching boards or restarting the CPU. Try on another system if feasible. Updated July 20, 2020 by TofuHaroto

It likely requires a BIOS update. The 1600AF is part of the 2xxx series CPU line. Upgrade it using your friend's CPU model.

three questions 1. How long have you waited for a post? 2. what way did you clear cmos? 3. did you try the other stick of ram by its self in each slot?

I should have been more precise, but that's exactly what I intended. That's the approach I'm considering. Unfortunately, I can't process returns in the US. I still don't understand how it handled that post earlier.

1. Took about 15 minutes. Disconnected power, removed battery, pressed power button until drained, waited 3-4 minutes, reinserted battery but it didn’t work.
2. I also attempted this method.

Wait five minutes or ten. Edited July 20, 2020 by TofuHaroto
