So I purchased a MSI B350M Pro VD and a Ryzen 5 2400G processor to upgrade my machine. At first I got black screen with no signal detected and the ez debug light for cpu was lit up. I found out about needing to upgrade my bios for these to work together so I got an AMD A6-9500 processor to slot in to do the update. Now I still get black screen no signal found and the ez debug light on the mobo is showing boot error. I am now $400 into a $200 upgrade and still nothing works! System is:
MSI B350M PRO-VD Plus Motherboard
Ryzen 5 2400g CPU (goal)
AMD A6-9500 CPU (for bios update)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 GPU
Patriot Viper dual channel 8gb DDR4 PC4-21300 2666MHz RAM
I’m using a 450 watt psu, which I know is a bit low but should be enough to boot and update bios.
I purchased the AMD cpu because it is the same one they send in their boot kit. Help me Tomshardware, you’re my only hope!
