Pc won't boot after CPU change

[jannic]

Hello Everyone!

Marry Christmas first of all!

I have the following problem:

I've got an ryzen 5 3500x for Christmas (used a ryzen 3 2600 before) and updated the bios before installing it. I checked if it's compatible with my Mainboard (msi x470) but it won't boot up. It just shows the red CPU LED. Maybe somebody has an idea and can help me, would be so nice.

Btw I updated the bios with the msi program "on the fly" and not it the "m-flash" in the bios menu

I just checked but it seems like your mother board isn't compatible with this CPU unfortunally https://pangoly.com/en/review/msi-x470-gaming-plus-max/compatibility/cpu this is the list i looked at man i just feel bad for you  but then you can use this as an excuse to get a better mother new mother board if you know what i mean

Damn I checked it on an other websites. It seems like any other ryzen cpu would've worked

Try updating it the other way, had an issue with Asus boards a  long time ago that they wouldn't flash properly from in the bios and had to use the windows tool.
