Hey how’s it going, so I’m completely lost after troubleshooting for hours. I got a new motherboard (B450 Gaming Pro and a Ryzen 3600. I’ve gotten the system to boot with it’s new components but as soon as I restart it to update the drivers and stuff it shows a blinking white underscore on the top left of my screen. I’ve confirmed that my gpu works, ram works, power supply works, with my old motherboard and cpu. However, when I swap the parts back into the new motherboard it’ll give me a F1 or F2 option(I forgot what it said but basically windows boots and re-recognizes the hardware and it boots normally) and the F2 option works and lets me start up the computer just fine. But as soon as I restart it... VGA debug light comes on and my GPU acts wonky. I feel as though at this point it’s a faulty motherboard? But I have no clue since the parts work, but after I restart it it’ll do the white underscore thing again. Sorry if this has been confusing but it’s been a long day of troubleshooting. Please send help.

you'll need a previous gen Ryzen chip so you can update the BIOS to the latest one so you can run your 3600.
i think micro center if you have one near you will do it for you 

Yeah I do, I’ll scope it out then, I just want to get to the bottom of this and Micro center was my last resort since I’d then be paying for it to be checked out.
