I see where my confusion came from now, I was looking at the support page for the non-max version. Thanks for the help

I don't quite understand that answer. My friend already has the Tomahawk Max, he isn't looking to buy another motherboard. I guess the better question for me to ask is, can I update his BIOS directly to the latest version (7C02v1E) and get support for zen 2? Or do I need to update to version 7C02v19, which is the first version that supports 3000 series CPU's,

When helping one friend update his ASRock B350 Pro4 to be compatible with Ryzen 3rd gen, the BIOS had to be updated in steps (first P3.40, then P5.40, then P5.80). Another friend is looking to upgrade his MSI B450 Tomahawk Max for Ryzen 3rd gen. When looking at the support page for the Tomahawk, it doesn't mention anything like "You must update to version xxxxx before you update to this version." Is it as simple as just updating to the latest version for the MSI board? (For reference, here is the ASRock support page, and here is the MSI support page)

Granted, your tea made you actually puke I wish for my own real life pokemon

Ryzen 4000 series mobile CPU's were announced at CES this year. Here's a Hardware Cunucks video talking about them.

Are there any specific release dates for laptops featuring Ryzen 4th gen mobile chips? I've been googling my heart away, but the closest I can find to an actual date is that an Asus laptop will be launching "in February" and a Dell laptop in April.

Have you tried reseating all of your cables, reseating your GPU, and using a different PCIe slot? If the problem sometimes seems to "fix itself" there is hope in finding a permanent fix.

It sounds similar to a MOBO problem I had in the past, I ended up exchanging my board for another of the same kind and got a post. I'd check with any friends/neighbors/friendly craigslist folks who will let you test your RAM in their systems to see if they get a post, but it feels most likely that your MOBO is bad.

The keyboard and headset, individually, cost twice as much as the CPU. You probably can't return the CPU, but If it's not too late to return those peripherals, I'd recommend spending some that money on at least a Ryzen 5 2600 (~$150 USD), getting rid of the HyperX modules and staying with just the 16 GB of memory so you can run it at 3600.

What steps have you taken to troubleshoot so far? It could be as simple as reseating all the power cables going into your mobo if you haven't already. If you already have done that, try following these steps to test if your PSU has gone bad:

I think I posted this in the wrong section and I don't know how to delete this post...... sorry Wanted to keep the title short, but I'm having trouble finding an RGB hub that I can plug multiple RGB components into (couple case fans, an LED strip, etc.) but doesn't require my motherboard to have an RGB header on it and can be controlled by software rather than a remote. Most I find either require me to have an RGB header already, or they use a remote that only allows for 16ish colors and 4 modes.

CPU: Ryzen 3 1200 Mobo: Gigabyte AB350n (Mini ITX) RAM: T-Force Delta 2x4 GB at 2666Hz Using PSU and GPU that are from another working computer, I still have no post. I had a friend test the RAM in his PC and he got past post and got to windows on his machine, so I know the RAM works, but maybe there is a compatibility issue with my Mobo that I don't know about. The RGB's light up on the RAM and Mobo, CPU and GPU fans are spinning, but no post. Given that I know the RAM works, is there any telling signs that I'm missing? Or is there no way to tell if the issue is the CPU, the Mobo, or a RAM compatibility issue.

Found the issue. One stick of RAM wasn't pushed in all the way from my last cleaning......... also explains why windows was saying I only had 4 gb of useable memory out of 8. Thanks for the help

Sorry for the late reply, was working. I tested with the other PSU I have, using onboard graphics, and I'm still freezing. I was able to have Open Hardware Monitor running for as long as I wanted, but whenever I went to resize the window or open Chrome and resize that window, that's when it freezes. I'm guessing this leaves the problem to the Mobo or RAM. What's weird, is last night it froze up for just a second, and was able to get past it and played CSGO for 3 hours but this morning, I'm back to freezing any time I resize a window.

It's been idling the last 10 min and the CPU is now hovering at 10 C. The temp outside and in my house is 21 C. Should I be concerned about this?

This is from 1 min ago

I have another PSU I can test with, but it doesn't have an 8-pin for my GPU so I'll have to use onboard graphics to test it. I guess that can narrow it down between PSU/GPU or CPU for the cause?

I got Open Hardware Monitor to open, the temps were all around 16 C. I accidentally dragged the window, and it caused the computer to crash

Specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/seanabo/saved/QQpFTW My PC blue screened while playing CSGO 2 days ago. Ever since, my computer will occasionally freeze up (sound will do that thing ya know, screen will have random sections chopped up) and then it reboots. This will happen when on YouTube and any other application at the same time. Also, while playing Destiny and being in-game for about 10 minutes, the game and Battle.net client will crash, however my computer will stay running fine. Haven't had any issues in CSGO since the blue screen. Where should I start the troubleshooting? Edit: Just froze up again while only trying to view this post, although this time it didn't force a restart, it's just sitting frozen on the forum page

Bridging the connections worked this time around, hopefully I won't have any more issues.

I have the wifi connection set to Shared. Honestly, completely forgot to try bridging this time around, but last time I had this issue bridging didn't work either. When I'm home, I'll try setting up a static IP. It may take a while because I don't know s**t about networking, I'll let you know if I get stuck or can't get it to work.

My setup has my laptop connected to my home wifi network, then my PC connected to my laptop via ethernet. My laptop shares the wifi connection and that's how I get internet being across the house from my router. Problem: Randomly, I'll boot up and my ethernet will say "Unidentified Network" and the windows troubleshooting says ""Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP configuration." Laptop connects to wifi with no troubles (that's how I'm here right now). Checking online, the only answer I got was that my drivers need to be updated, but they're up to date and the problem always goes away with time but I need to figure out a fix that doesn't involve waiting days at a time. It's currently set to obtain IP and DNS server addresses automatically. I've tried resetting both the PC and laptop, using the troubleshooting on both of them, countless hours of unplugging/plugging back in. Usually these do the trick, but on occasions like today they haven't helped. Any other ideas to fix are appreciated. Posted this 2 days ago in the workbench forums, still hasn't been able to connect. Anytime it's plugged in to the laptop, both call the ethernet connection an Unidentified Network and both yield the same IP configuration error.

Still hasn't been able to connect. Anytime it's plugged in to the laptop, both call the ethernet connection an Unidentified Network and both yield the same IP configuration error. Is there a way I can generate a static IP/DNS so it isn't trying to automatically find it?

Using Gigabyte's 4gb R9 380. This is my first build and I went with AMD gpu/cpu because broke college kid.
