Computer turns on but no post

Go to solution Solved by JJCooper_,

Ye you should upgrade. Regarding your Mobo, its a first gen Mobo. When you wiped the CMOS, the board lost the BIOS update for second and third gen. 

And an x570 or b450 will do you good

Hello there, I just received my new AMD Ryzen 5 and put it in my computer however when I turned it on fans started spinning but no post! There was also a CPU debug led so im certain it is the CPU. After I tried reseating the CPU and clearing CMOS, scouring the internet to find the solution and after a while I think the solution is I need to update my BIOS. However now when I put back my AMD Ryzen 3 my pc starts up and all but no post! Im pretty desperate as I cant do online classes without my pc! Thank you in advance.

If you have Zen 2 (3rd gen ) it's very unlikely you have a b350 that supports it

Agree.

But they had a Ryzen 3 that could have updated the BIOS with. I'm more concerned about the CMOS being done wrong. If it failed, it could have potentially messed up his BIOS so his Ryzen 3 wouldn't be recognised.

Oh shit I forgot about the cmos

That could be very dangerous

It's not a great board 

But if it's new stock it should be 

For b450 I recommend something like the tomahawk 

Or the ds3h is also a really cheap good option that does support zen 2

Never heard of it but it does have a 6 phase power delivery with a heatsink

Looks good for me as long as you have (zen or zen + cpu's or in other words 1st Gen or 2nd gen ) 

But won't support zen 2 (3rd gen ) out of the box
