Constant reboot with specific CPU, Bios Flash does not help

[PepeUYB]

Hello everyone!

 

Just recently built a system with a 5800x and a Asrock Ph-Gaming itx tb3.

The system kept rebooting after 20 seconds so I thought that the seller just didnt flash the Bios.

I then ordered a 3700x off of Amazon (yay Return policies!), was able to get to get it to post but after trying version 2.80 and then 2.60 It still didnt post with my newer CPU.

The upgrade itself showed no error codes or anything.

 

I checked for any loose ram, gpu or cpu afterwards but nothing.

 

I´m in desperate need of help haven´t been able to pown noobs for a while and I´m about to run out of fingerstrength and thermal paste.

 

(Also can´t buy a new motherboard, need this one because of the tb3 connection)

 

Thanks in advance

Also dont know if this makes a difference but I downloaded the Bios from their website on a mac and it didnt say zip file under format type it just said "document".

In that case the download probably didn't finish correctly or is otherwise damaged because I just downloaded the update just to test it and it actually is a .zip file. The file inside is called X57TB3_2.80 (so the file ending is the last two numbers of the firmware version). Maybe try re-downloading it.

 

Edit: Also, given the fact that the board boots fine with two different BIOS versions and the 3700X, who says that the issue is the motherboard? It might very well be a defective CPU.

You´re completely right It could be the CPU, I just thought there´s no way a brand spanking new CPU would not work. Also forgot to mention but it seems the 2.80 version corrupted my bios and even with the 3700x I couldn´t reboot my system. 

 

Maybe the main problem is that Macbooks dont recognize it as a zipfile? Tried unzipping it with no success. 

 

Not too familiar with macbooks but I think it unzipped it on its own.

 

Thank you german brother

Yup, even brand new things can be defective (DOA; dead on arrival). Unfortunate but it can happen.

But that's how the file is supposed to look, so you did everything right I assume.

Well that´s no fun

 

A1 censoring by the way.

 

I appreciate the help.
