Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600
MSI B350 Tomahawk Arctic
Corsair Vengeance LED 3200 2x8gb
CX550M PSU
Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8gb
So, I have recently tried building my first comp. I have tried 3 different mobos with the first and 3rd (current one) being MSI B350 Tomahawks Arctic. 2nd was ASUS Prime x370 Pro, I would make it to the splash screen and it would freeze, not allowing me to get into the BIOS or anything.
On the Tomahawks, I plug in CPU, GPU, RAM, and it all goes well until the "VGA" EZ DEBUG LED comes on and I will get a signal to my monitor and it will never go any further than that. When I say it doesn't go any further than that, I mean I get no splash screen or anything, no "press del or f2 to enter bios". Also no boot or anything. Have tried a second GPU that is definitely working, with the same results.
In my mind, I have come to the conclusion that the BIOS on my board is not updated enough to support the Ryzen 5 1600, does it sound like I am correct in saying that? I just would like to be sure that it is or, could be the issue as the local computer store wants to charge $100 to update my bios, and if that's not even the issue, I don't want to spend that amount of money.
Thanks guys,
