Cpu led

hmm...you could try another motherboard if you have one...if it still doesn't work maybe it's the 3700x...

[Mathieu9836]

If you don't reset CMOS when removing or replacing a part on the motherboard it won't work, just saying because some people don't reset CMOS when testing their RAM sticks and it wont post

Sooo. 3700x boots with other mobo.

2600x boots with 1st mobo. Im confused. Clearing cmos in a minute. 

[ZephCloud]

ahh...then this is an issue that seldom happens...sometimes there's nothing wrong with the hardware but it just won't work together for no reason...or at least i can't figure out the reason...haha

You have to clear CMOS BEFORE booting the system everytime you change hardware on the board, if you used to have the 2600x on the board and replaced to the 3700X without clearing CMOS it mostly won't work exept if you motherboard can detect hardware change, and if it does it will probably will throw a F1 POST.

No i dlnt have to clear it. When i boot with different hardware it gives a message saying cmos cleared which i just realized after swappin out components. Now cmos is cleared after swapping 3700x back in. Il try it out. And even update bios to the newer version

Latest BIOS update is 7B87V19, unzip on freshly formated to FAT32 thumbdrive, rename file to MSI.ROM

Edit: you can use Flashbios button to update the board without having to fire the system

If you want to update it using the flashbios button you will have to rename it to MSI.ROM, the board will look for that file name.

There is no reason you have to rename the file if you do it through the UEFI but we never know, might be the reason it don't work.

[Mathieu9836]

Reformat thumbdrive to FAT32 ( one more time...), then unzip BIOS file, only copy the .1C0 file to the thumbdrive.

Laster BIOS is 7B86v1C  not 7b86V19, i was wrong.

[Flawizz]

I have it like this. Does it matter if i have the unextracted file in there aswell? Shouldnt be cause i updated other mobo with the unextracted file in aswell.

latest bios is 7B87v1A, but usually the bios name goes v17 v18 v19, but its now v1A, maybe im not supposed to install that one but rather the v19?

Check for latest release date, not update name or number. If you don't unzip the file it will never work, BIOS can't uncompress files. You have to open the ZIP file and drag the BIOS file out of it, and on the thumbdrive.

can i use the flashbios button without taking the cpu out? or does it have to be without the cpu installed?

You can have anything installed on your board, it bypass everything on it. If you use the flashback button you have to rename the file to MSI.ROM

Wait so i got the 101file out of the folder. And now its flashing the bios. Ive literally never done this and ive flashed like 10 motherboards. I feel retarded right now. Il pop my 3700x in after its finished and see what happens.

[Flawizz]

Alright. I booted with the 3700x on previous bios version. Started with cpu led. So i gave up on life. Laid back on my bed. Monitor turned on. I shot myself out of bed. No cpu led lighting up. I guess the redditposr was right. Thanks to everyone that tried to help me. Much appreciated.
