3800x and b350 mate

Hi.

Im upgrading a pc right now. Mobo msi b350 mate stays the same and also the ram stays the same. Im upgrading the gpu from a 1060 to a 5700xt and the cpu from ryzen 5 1700 to a ryzen 3800x. When I finished the build and turned the pc on I got the red cpu light. Could the compatibility between the b350 mate and the ryzen 3800x be a problem. Or any other ways to fix? Ive tried most of em.

 

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Tomas

Have you updated the BIOS prior to upgrading?

You need BIOS version E7A34AMS or newer.

 

Plug in the old CPU, download the BIOS here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-PC-MATE

Place that BIOS on a thumb drive (empty thumb drive, read the instructions in the download folder to know exactly how), update the BIOS and install the new CPU.

 

(By the way, I wouldn't exactly recommend this setup.. The PC Mate is kind of a budget board for up to Ryzen 5 CPU's, it should be able to run the 3800X at stock though..)

One more question. If I change the mobo, gpu and cpu at once. Will it delete the unlocked windows (so to a locked windows) in like not recognizing the pc anymore cuz it changed so much. Or wouldnt that be a problem? Windows just stays on the same m2 ssd
