Hey lads, I've just recently bought the new AMD Ryzen 7 2700x Processor to upgrade from my lacking Ryzen 5 1400. Initially I thought that it wouldn't be that much of a difference since the socket fits and there isn't that much of a generation span in between. I followed trough with the replacement without issues. Upon start-up though I thought to myself "Here we go again" as I had no display at all.
Now there are many clues and problems that I've already gone trough without prevail.
Like:
Resetting CMOS which didn't work. (With jumper as the battery was immovable, I know that removing the battery is the best reset but it just wouldn't budge.)
There was no initial beep to signify startup that I usually get from original processor. Though when I put the older Ryzen 5 1400 back in everything works.
The computer is a finished piece (not built by me, which is always problematic)
I've updated the BIOS to the most recent update.
Changed up the RAM cards, Number and positioning.
When I turn the computer on with the new card installed, No USB device seem to be taking power either, but the computer seems to be running in some form of pre-startup state. (RGB fans running)
Model is Acer Aspire gx-281
Ryzen 5 1400 processor
DDR4 8GB (upgraded to 16, have another 8gb piece but it seems to give off an error upon startup)
Motherboard is probably custom made for the original build, I don't know if it supports the 2700x, which is something I would like to get more info on.
PoSu 500W (Initially thought that the power supply might be of an issue in this as the processor takes around double the amount of power. But I don't think that power is a big issue as this build isn't even that complex.)
I haven't found that much information regarding the motherboard which is why this is so complicated to deal with, any help would be highly appreciated.
I might have to buy a new motherboard and start a new build even though this computer is just 1 year old.
