no boot

[midnite_alex]

So I just upgraded from a ryzen 3 1200 to a 3600, and i took out my gpu so i could easily take out the cooler, now the pc doesnt boot, it all lights up and one of the gpu fans just spins to max. Any idea what it could be?

If you were running a Ryzen 1200, I'm guessing this is a rather old motherboard. Is it updated to a BIOS that supports the 3600?

1. Motherboard might need BIOS update
2. 3600 doesn't have onboard graphics so it might need the GPU to post.

He said one of the GPU fans spins up so I assumed he put the GPU back in.

the gpu is in there and the motherboard’s box says ryzen 3000 ready. Plus im pretty sure i did a bios update last year

Okay, i tried the 1200. It still won’t boot, but the right gpu fan stopped spinning to max

CMOS clear?  Reseat RAM?

Hello, 

 

I would suggest popping the old cpu back into into motherboard and seeing if it will post like it used to. 
 

If it does post then I would suggest checking for the latest bios driver on the motherboard’s manufacturer’s website and installing it as they bring new bios out every couple of months normally.  
 

If the old cpu also won’t boot how it used to it could mean that the new cpu bricked the board. (unlikely but possible) 

 

If it does post with the 1200 then it could also mean that the 3600 you have could be defective.

He said he tried it, but I agree start with BIOS update.
