Hi,

I've just put together my first PC. The build has gone smoothly, no issue with fitting components etc. The build is now complete, it powers up but there is no display output. All fans spinning (except CPU fan, which I then plugged into another header and it did start to spin, so i suspect the CPU isn't generating enough heat for it to start on the CPU fan header?), video card is lit and fans spinning.

The parts list is as follows:

Asus Prime B450 Plus
Ryzen 3600
Corsair LPX vengeance 3200 mhz
radeon 5700 xt
nzxt e-650 power supply
Item 660p M.2 NVME 1Gb
Barracuda 2Tb mechanical drive

I've also notice that the usb headers aren't working. There is no beep when I power up the PC, but I guess it might just not have a speaker!

Any help would be hugely appreciated. Let me know if I have missed any vital details...
 
Nightmare - I was under the impression that if the board was ryzen 2 compatible it would work for ryzen 3, then flash for better stability once i was in the bios. I'm nowhere near west midlands unfortunately. I bought the board from scan (though it wasn't them that gave me the advice). Am i wrong in thing that and send out gen 1 chips (for a deposit) to allow people to flat to gen 2? Perhaps they can do the same for gen2=>3

They do have a programme, usually a 200GE, but it takes a while to get it all sorted. Probably be faster ordering a cheap CPU yourself from somewhere with fast delivery.

RE: CPU fan, there is only one CPU fan header for your processor cooler, the other is probably a header for a case fan. Your PC won't have an internal speaker unless you connected it yourself, some motherboards come with internal speaker, others don't....but even if it does, the user needs to connect it to the speaker header.

Thanks - so a 200ge would do the trick? It seems like £41 quid wasted though, I cannot imagine there would be much demand afterwards.

Regarding the fan header, I have the cpu cooler connected to the cpu fan header and it doesn't spin. To make sure it was working I just connected it to another "regular" fan header which it did, so I switched it back...if that makes sense?
 
Thanks to everyone for your quick replies. Looks like my wallet is already going to be even emptier! I've upsold myself on the whole build so why stop now :D

Look out for an AMD 220ge for sale in about a week. Hopefully that fixes the issue. If not I'll be back!

Just as a quick update. I decided to claim the boot kit from AMD. It took a week from start to finish so not too bad, and within 15 minutes I had flashed the bios and installed my new 3600. Works like a dream.

Thanks to everyone for their help and advice, much appreciated.
