URGENT AMD 2200g HELP

Fez760
Go to solution Solved by Zmax,

There 2 option for Bios update

 

Go to a computer repair shop and ask it they can do it , You need first generation CPU  to get the right Bios.

 

Go to AMD web site and fill form for a kit with first generation CPU. From what I have read , you need to return it , but shipping should be free.

So CPU finally came in today go back through some of my other posts to get a longer story but i got it and went to install it.. huh well crap motherboard with everything connected heat sink installation was a no go... so bit it and disassembled the case (only missing ram) had trouble installing the heat sink had to kind of press it down (not crazy hard but its on there but... it felt rough got power to the board did a quick power on with just the psu and fan spins... duh but the cpu error light is still on 

 

MSI b350m gaming pro + Ryzen 3 2200g

You'll probably need to update the bios, B350 boards were first gen Ryzen boards, depending how long that board had been sat in a store/warehouse, it won't have the correct BIOS for 2nd gen Ryzen chips.

 

To update the BIOS you'll need a compatible 1st gen CPU, or a local computer store may be able to do it for you.

It wasn't even that hard to read honestly and ya don't even need to read it to see that it's probably a BIOS issue, just the motherboard and CPU combo gives it away.

True yes TBH i thought everything would be fine since there were about 5 bios updates before hand

Just because BIOS updates were brought out doesn't mean the board will have them, the board has to be manufactured after those dates for it to have the BIOS installed. If it's been sat in a a warehouse or a stores storage for a few months, it'll have an earlier bios on it.

Is there anyway to check without getting the RAM in before hand

Only way you could check would be if you had a 1st gen Ryzen chip to test in it, to see if it actually boots.

Read as, you need ram before you can check anything.

As in you don't have RAM, or you left the RAM in?

Just try reseating your RAM and try it a few times, DDR4 can be a pain, make sure it's really pressed in there and wiggle it around a bit to get it settled.

 

Also that board isn't good for an APU, you should just return it, it doesn't have a heatsink over the VRM above the CPU, and that's where the iGPU will draw all of it's power

 

you want an ASrock Pro 4, MSI Tomahawk, or Gigabyte B450 ITX board at minimum

If you don't have DDR4 at all it's not going to post

The R3 2200G is a perfectly fine budget CPU/GPU

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

The boards with updates BIOS versions should still be shipping with a sticker that says "Second Generation Ready" or something like that.

So you dont actually have the RAM to install yet?

 

That'll be why you can't boot. You need RAM to boot.

Whatever RAM you buy make sure it's 3000mhz or better, or just as close to it as you can get.

If you can't return the motherboard try sticking a fan over the top VRM that doesn't have a heatsink for peace of mind

No, you need ram to boot, and you need to be able to boot to get into bios, if you can't boot you can't check what BIOS is on it.


On the box there may be a manufacturing date, could compare that to BIOS releases to see if it was manufactured when an updated BIOS was brought out or not, but that's about it.

Did you already order the RAM or were you planning to buy it much later? Because it's a bad idea to buy a PC in pieces.

Wait are you actually in the US? if so why did you buy that motherboard? you should just return it and buy the new board with the RAM in one order just in case there's issues with it

The computer won't properly POST if you don't have any RAM installed.
