Hi Alp35. First of all, don't panic. The odds that you killed your board are actually
low provided you didn't cause physical damage during the CPU swap.

First of all, make sure that you replaced the clear CMOS jumper to the correct
position. If you have it left in the "clear" position the system will not respond.
Secondly, download and use the "Flashback" method to flash to the latest BIOS
for your board, 4.20 as of writing.
Third, when you power on the system with the 9800x3d make sure you have a single
stick of RAM in slot A1 and that you leave the system powered on for 10 mins to
allow for RAM training potentially taking a while.

Let me know how it goes. I will be offline for a while as it's 2am here but I
will check back in tomorrow.

Good luck.]]> Wed, 06 May 2026 06:50:49 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113510&PID=201395&title=a620i-cpu-upgrade-issue-failure#201395 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113510&PID=201393&title=a620i-cpu-upgrade-issue-failure#201393 Author: Alp35

Hi, very bad day for me
I am using sffc setup for a year now. A620i and 8400f, kingston 32x2 rams was my setup. Finally I went for 9800x3d today. Bios was updated in last 6 months cant remember the version, I just replaced 8400f with 9800x3d today did a cmos reset but pc didnt respond at all. I tried both rams one by one on each slot nothing. No burn or visible damage anywhere. The worst part is now the pc doesnt work with 8400f too. I assume a620i motherboard just went bad or was made bad or idk I need help. I can measure necesaary pins or chips or porta with a multimeter if its going to help. My X99 asrock board still runs today but this am5 series idk something is wrong.]]> Wed, 06 May 2026 05:27:58 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113510&PID=201393&title=a620i-cpu-upgrade-issue-failure#201393
