Hello, this morning I installed a b450 tomahawk max motherboard with a Ryzen 7 3700X CPU. I got it to boot the first time but the CPU indicator on the motherboard was red, I then saw that the CPU power cable wasn't all the way plugged in. I took everything out (had to because my case isn't easy to work with), and now whenever I press the power button nothing happens, I triple checked everything, and everything seems to be in the correct place. The PSU isn't dead. The only sign of life that the motherboard shows is that the bios flashback light blinks 3 times after I have the bios flashback button held and then released.

 

Any help would be much much appreciated, I got this upgrade for new years but so far all it's given me is a panic attack.

The MSI 400 Max boards should support Zen 2 OOTB.

 

Before messing around with flashing the BIOS try doing a CMOS reset to check if you can get it to boot at all.

Ryzen 7 3800X | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | 16GB Team Group Dark Pro 3600Mhz | Corsair MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 | Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse | Corsair H115i Platinum | WD Black 1TB | WD Green 4TB | EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W | Asus TUF GT501 | Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144hz HDR FreeSync 2 | Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS |
