You my friend are in luck that means you just need to upgrade the firmware which should be easy to do with any ryzen 7 cpu otherwise you will need to RMA the board and ask them to update it for you. Some bestbuys can update it for a fee.

How do I update the firmware myself if it can't turn on?

I have a ryzen 3 not 7?

[GamerMaker]

You need a Ryzen 7 it's a known defect that the MB doesn't recognize newer CPUs. If you lack one MSI will help. Your Ryzen 3 is newer than the MB therfore the MB doesn't know how to handle it.

I have a 150HP car. Please help.

 

It would be nice if you'd specify what kind of Power Supply you are talking about.

Manufacturer and Modelname.

Ryzen 3 is NEWER than Ryzen 7 and that MB was never designed to run a Ryzen 3 it does run it but needs a firmware update.

[NinJake]

He's saying at the time of release for your motherboard, the ryzen 3 was not released yet, however the ryzen 7 was. Therefore the motherboard doesn't understand what the ryzen 3 is.

So do I have to go to Best Buy or do I have to do myself

[GamerMaker]

The PSU is powerful enough and of good make.

So the firmware makes the whole pc not work nothing turns on any fans except one sec led lights that's it

[GamerMaker]

I would call MSI first see if they have a repair center nearby if you rather go the Best Buy route first check that they have a working Ryzen 7 and ask them to update it for you call ahead.

It's a safety feature to prevent your motherboard from killing the CPU.

they really should have come up with a better method to handle this kind of scenario. 

more so because when r7 launched it was already clear that other models will follow. 

 

something like a "safe mode" would have been great where the system will at least let the user go into bios and get shit straight.

 

or throw a warning like "unsupported CPU detected, try bios update? [update] [cancel]"

SPANISH? Was he from Spain? That display of racism just earned you zero sympathy.
