Hello, I recently attempted to upgrade my graphics card from 2700x to 3700x on the Rog Strix B450-F gaming board. Before that, I updated my BIOS to the latest version since I hadn't changed it for two years. Everything worked perfectly with the 2700x, but after switching to 3700x, I encountered issues. The PC won’t boot and displays a yellow LED indicating a DRAM problem. I have two 8GB RAM sticks at 3200MHz and tried different configurations—placing them in various slots, using only one stick at a time, resetting the CMOS by removing and reinserting the battery, short-circuiting special pins, and even reinstalling the CPU. After that, the board booted up again. Could this be related to the BIOS update? Also, I don’t have a USB drive available for formatting to FAT32, and I had to download the BIOS update online, making it impossible to revert to older versions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Following a CPU upgrade, your PC will undergo RAM training. Allow it to rest for some time.

If you have access to BIOS settings, attempt to upgrade to the newest release. Version 3700X is compatible when the BIOS is at least 2301. Reference from ASUS ROG site included. Updated: August 19, 2023 by ImWilly. Added inference.

It usually takes around ten minutes, but it can vary depending on your system.

It shouldn't require ten minutes on a Zen 2. Was the CPU utilized? Is it working on another machine? Are the pins bent?

Powered on the PC. Check if the beeper is working. If it is, you should say "cry" often because there is no RAM.

No bent pins if I didn’t miss anything, and it worked perfectly on your friend’s PC.
