Could my cpu be fried?

[mbrownjr66101]

So I have an Asus ROG strix B450-F gaming mobo with an AMD ryzen 3 3200g cpu, system ran great until I got the bright idea to use the EZ tuner and squeeze a little more performance out of my cpu, ran fine for about an hour then became unstable and I got a blue screen. Now no matter what I do (flash and update bios, use a jumper to reset mobo setting, use asus recommended vsm settings) I can boot to bios but cannot load the OS. I have tried boot drives out of three different computers to make sure it wasnt an hdd issue or OS issue. I'm starting to get discouraged and think Iay have killed the cpu, every thing is less than a month old.

did you reset to factory settingsin the bios?

your cpu is probably fine since you can boot to bios. try with

different psu (what psu do you have now)

different ram or 1 ram stick (what ram do you have now)

You wouldn't be able to reach BIOS if your CPU was dead.

try running at stock?

I have tried running factory settings, psu is 850w I have switched the ram around, no post code or q leds stay lit on the board ram is 2 sticks 8g corsair vengeance 2400mhz have reset with a jumper both with and without the battery in the mobo

I thought the same bit I have spent hours researching this and seen that it was possible to load bios with a bad cpu on various forums but obviously I dont know

I have a 750w psu I could throw in, but the fans are all spinning and the ram registers in the bios just wont load os, I'm so lost

Boot drives from other computers that do not have the same hardware will blue screen because the chipset driver or video card drivers differ from yours. So you won't get a good diag from that.

 

You're better bet is a clean wiped drive with a fresh installation of windows. You may have only corrupted the windows installation on the existing boot drive. You could try a repair through the installation usb stick vs a fresh install as well.

I will give that a try and get back to you

Little update I still couldn't get it to work I found a killer deal on a gigabit motherboard i7 6700 k and a Cooler Master cooler for $150 so I went ahead and bought that and threw it in the rig working great I tried everything with the ryzen set up so basically I have either a dead motherboard or a dead CPU more than likely I guess cuz no matter what I did installing Windows clearing the CMOS leave it unplugged for a week nothing I can't get it to go I changed the ram I changed everything took the battery out of the motherboard and cleared it so now the plan is to send the motherboard back because it's still under warranty and the CPU back because it's also under warranty see if I get everything replaced or at least repaired whatever the problem maybe get an operational and throw it in my spare rig

Well you tried everything and it worked out in the end. The performance wont be much different on the Intel setup you got so thats good.

Thanks for the update!
