Changed from Intel to AMD booting problems with my new setup

[Jens.M]

Hey guys
I switched from Intel to AMD for price-performance reasons.

for this purpose, I exchanged the processor, the mainboard and the water cooling.

 

Now, however, I have a few problems with the setup.
The PC does not boot correctly through Windows 10, although this is the only option selected.
I have already tried to switch off the secure mode, but this made no difference.

 

It either starts on the screen with the option to call up the BIOS and gets stuck or directly via the BIOS

my specs are:

• AMD Ryzen 9 3950X AM4, 3.50GHz, 16-Core
• ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO AM4, AMD X570, ATX
• MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO 11GB
• Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 4x, 16GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288
• NZXT Kraken Z73
• Corsair RM850x *2018* 850W

 

In addition, the mainboard does not save my RGB settings and sometimes the RGB light gets stuck in the RAM bar.

Thx for your Help!

I would suggest you reinstall Windows whenever you change platforms.

Fresh install windows.

Always reinstall windows when swapping a cpu or Motherboard.

No, not always. only If you have problems.

Swapping cpu (not brand) most probably won't need a reinstall.

Alright i reinstalled Windows 10.

But somehow I'm too stupid to do it  To be honest, I don't know what I set wrongly.  that the PC does not boot with Windows 10.

 

All drivers are reinstalled and updated.

 

The PC starts with this Screen.

 

The CPU Fan Error is because of the AIO WatterCooler.

Everything is working fine.

I recommend always with CPU upgrades, generally they're moving to a new architecture, like going ryzen 3000 to ryzen 5000, and it doesn't need a bios update but the chance you'll run into a problem is pretty high from my personal experience.

 

I'm also of the opinion that you should reinstall windows every so often, and a CPU upgrade is a good point in time to do another one of those. Junk programs, errors, shovelware you picked up along, all gone for a cleaner, faster experience.

I know you have a point, because people really tend to install a lot of hilarious shit, but i dont really have any of those, the biggest "shovelware" on my PC would be windows itself …

i will hopefully this year switch from AMD to Intel and I fully intend to keep using my current  windows install… the idea is simple, delete the AMD drivers and chipset, switch, let windows do the rest… curious  how it'll go!

You arent supposed to set anything really , reset CMOS

Then boot and load "recommended default values" (it should be a pop up during boot)

I believe thats your actual issue though, it wont boot into windows if it detects a CPU error.

 

Are you trying to install windows from usb stick, with media creation tool?

Yeah i reinstalled Windows from the USB Stick.

Everything works good except the Booting process.

CPU Temperature is good 35°C.

This is why I try to use the generic windows driver, since it works well enough and can even handle a whole system swap.

Im not watercooling but i believe you still need something on the fan header otherwise you'll get this problem , but hopefully someone can confirm this, otherwise Im not sure why it wouldn't boot…

Okay but why is there an AIO Place on the Mainboard

read the manual make sure everything is connected properly, you can also try reset cmos, i still think you need something in cpu_fan, just seems logical to me.

Allright yeah this was the problem.

I thought the AIO cooler need to be pluged in in the AIO pin.

And the internet said you can ignore this Error in the Bios settings because of the AIO.

 

And before that mainboard i also didn't pluged in a CPU Fan and it worked without an error. Realy strange but ok it works now. Thanks for the helping.
