cpu: amd fx 6100 / amd sempron 145.
mobo: asrock 890gx pro3 am3+.
gpu: xfx radeon hd 5450 1GB ddr3.
ram: 1x4GB kingston ddr3 1333mhz.

Is the FX-6100 brand new? I presume it's model FD6100WMW6KGU(BE)?

Saber_1ST · Sep 12, 2015

GhislainG :

no it is not brand new but it is working fine and the clue is that when i remove ram, mobo beeps 3 times

GhislainG · Sep 12, 2015

How did you determine that it's working fine? You tested it with another motherboard?

Saber_1ST · Sep 12, 2015

GhislainG :

yes i did. i tested it on an asrock 970m pro 3. one more thing i am not 100% sure the processor is BE

GhislainG · Sep 12, 2015

It should work; there'a single FX-6100 model: http://products.amd.com/en-us/search/CPU/AMD-FX-Series/AMD-FX-6-Core-Black-Edition/FX-6100/86 There might be an issue with the motherboard that doesn't occur with the older CPU.

Saber_1ST · Sep 12, 2015

GhislainG :

but the processor is in the mobo cpu support list!here:www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/890GX%20Pro3/
don't you think it's the 4 pin cpu connector? or the ram?

GhislainG · Sep 12, 2015

I know that it's supported. What do you mean by the 4 pin CPU connector? You connected it? If the RAM was fine with the old CPU, then it also work with the new one. Did you disconnect the PSU and remove the battery to reset the settings after installing the new CPU?

Saber_1ST · Sep 12, 2015

GhislainG :

oh sorry, it's a 4 pin 12V ATX power connector. and by the way i did not cleared cmos when i replaced cpu. so i will try it and come back thanks

Saber_1ST · Sep 12, 2015

shit! it did NOT work any suggestions :??:

PLEASE.

GhislainG · Sep 12, 2015

The CPU officially is supported and it has been tested in another system where it works fine. That doesn't leave much other than a motherboard that just refuses to cooperate with that CPU. Hopefully someone will suggest a solution.

Saber_1ST · Sep 13, 2015

GhislainG :

wait there is a sentence that says "AMD FX SERIES SUPPORT UP TO 1866 MHZ AS ITS STANDARD MEMORY FREQUENCY ". does it mean i need a 1866 MHZ ram to run the cpu?

GhislainG · Sep 13, 2015

Not at all; it says that it supports up to 1833 MHz memory. 1333 MHz memory is fine.

Saber_1ST · Sep 13, 2015

GhislainG :

then what do you suggest as a solution?

GhislainG · Sep 13, 2015

If you are absolutely sure the CPU is fine, then get a new motherboard.

Saber_1ST · Sep 14, 2015

GhislainG :

i guess i have to. thank for yor time GhislainG

Unplug the PC. Take out the mobo battery. Plug in the PC. Try to boot it. The PC will make an error sound, you'll know which one.

Unplug the PC again. Put the motherboard battery back in. Boot PC. Enter BIOS. Load defaults. Enjoy.

Error code 84 = problem related to PCI-E devices. http://www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?id=334 reseat the GPU or use the onboard AMD HD 4290.
1F = RAM. Try other RAM, which kingston RAM? if it is newer version, it is not compatible that MB, like the HyperX FURY DDR3 http://media.kingston.com/pdfs/HyperX_FURY_DDR3_US.pdf because the ram use the newer ICs, only compatible to the newer MB.
Make sure you try those first, before you buy other MB.

Saber_1ST · Sep 14, 2015

Cryio :

i trired your idea even with the sempron cpu no MB baterry error

i tried reseating the GPU but still no results. oh also the MB already worked fine with this old RAM using AMD SEMPRON 145 cpu, or you mean the FX series need newer RAM for this MB?

Saber_1ST · Sep 14, 2015

sorry i forgot to tell you that after error 84 i press restart button then error 00 is shown. then i shut the pc down, i press power button and get error 84 again.

GhislainG · Sep 14, 2015

The FX shouldn't require new RAM.

cin19 · Sep 14, 2015

Yes, you don't need new RAM. And the error 00 is for cpu.
So when you use the sempron 145, can the pc boot or not? If the PC boot, switch to the fx6100, clear the CMOS, then boot again, if the pc can't boot and you still have the error 00. That means the problem is the fx6100.
Or you may try Bench it - Troubleshooting http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1753671/bench-troubleshooting.html start with cpu fx6100+cooler+RAM , and using the onboard iGPU to boot the PC, if you can't and if you can boot with sempron 145, then you will sure the fx6100 has problem.

GhislainG · Sep 14, 2015

The OP has already done that and confirmed the issue only occurs with the FX-6100. However he also says that the CPU works fine in another motherboard; therefore his motherboard has an issue with that CPU. I can't draw the conclusion that the issue definitely is with the CPU.

Saber_1ST · Sep 14, 2015

damn. i shuted the pc down, i pressed power button and got error 84 again.
