- ryzen 1600 3.9 @ 1.3250v

- msi b350 gaming plus

- Adata 1x 8gb

- msi gtx 1050ti gaming X

- previous BIOS: 7A34vM7 of 2018-01-29.

- current BIOS: 7A34vM9 of 2018-03-19 (updated yesterday)



for 1 month, i was really happy with the M7 bios, when my OC goes wrong it boot up again so i can edit more settings until stable.

yesterday i installed new BIOS 7A34vM9 of 2018-03-19 and the lastest Ryzen driver. i tryed to go 3.9Ghz with voltage set to 'Auto' to get the minimum voltage possible but the computer refused to boot at all.



step 1- i removed the RAM and GPU = no boot.

step 2- i Cleared CMOS using screwdriver ( PC off and power cable on as manual says )= no boot.

step 3- i Cleared CMOS removing the Batttery = no boot.

step 4- i Cleared CMOS using jumper = no boot.



NOTE:

1- lights are turned on ( Motherboard + GPU, i don't think something is broken because i didnot use extreme high voltage, just set to auto)

2- the PC keep running ( cpu fan, gpu fan, mouse, keyboard) but nothing on the screen.

3- EZ Debug, lightsup for CPU for 3 sec, then the GPU 3sec. then off and pc keep runing with nothing on sscreen.

You should run the RAM on the correct slot. Board are different, but the RAM sticks should not be installed next to each other. They should have on slot between them. So 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 should be paired together.

Running 2 sticks of RAM in the right channel, activates dual channel RAM. This will improve your RAM performance by a good bit. For dual channel motherboards, you always want to have even number of sticks of RAM.

Ryzen has something called infinity fabric that allows the core complexes to talk to each other. Fast performing RAM really speeds up the conversation between the core complexes and the infinity fabric. So what that means is fast RAM in dual channel configuration will give you better fps.

-ram stick is on 2nd slot as manual says,
-debug led never lights up on ram, only on cpu and gpu spot, 3 sec on cpu, sometimes it keeps on GPU spot, i will try to make ashort video to show it.
-usually PC bott up to desktop in 20 sec, but after that OC setting it took more than 1 min but no display so i turned it off and on.

It should boot to bios after clearing the CMOS. If it does not then it could be a RAM issue. Ryzen is real finicky with RAM. Running only one stick of RAM on a dual channel board can complicate problems even more. Try moving the one stick of RAM to the other slots and see if it will boot. If that wont work try borrowing a friend's DDR4 kit of RAM to see if it will boot with two sticks.

Did it boot after you flashed the bios?

If it booted once after flashing then you did not brick your bios. For future reference, don't flash your bios unless your system is not performing properly.

imagine what was the problem, the HDMI cable was broken at the exact same moment i pressed 'F10 + enter' to try my OC setting. imagine that moment, making me beleive my OC settings broke something and caused the problem and trying to fix it for 2 days, omg what a silly situation.
