This is a new build:
Motherboard: B550M Pro SE https://asrock.com/mb/AMD/B550M%20Pro%20SE/index.asp CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D Memory: OWC - OWC3E2D41R8032P https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CBT1GH4Y SSD: Inland - 1TB PER W/O https://www.microcenter.com/product/642169/inland-performance-plus-1tb-3d-tlc-nand-pcie-gen-4-x4-nvme-m2-internal-ssd The motherboard won't post. - I'm not sure if there are LEDs on the motherboard for troubleshooting - If there are, I don't see them, and the manual doesn't seem to reference them The website says my CPU requires BIOS version P3.20 - I don't know how to determine my current BIOS version since it won't POST - I'm wondering if my BIOS is too old to support my CPU. - If it is, I'm not sure how to remedy. |

They used to put factory BIOS version sticker on the EEPROM chip on the motherboard. I don't know if they still do that, but have you looked for it?
If it is there, and it's pre-3.20, you'd have to borrow an older CPU (3000-series Matisse or 4000-series Rembrandt preferred) to update the BIOS. AMD might still have boot-kit program, where they let you borrow an older CPU. |
