I just upgraded my rig with a new motherboard and CPU

went from a z77-d3h & i5 3570k

to a Ryzen 7 and msi x370 gaming pro carbon motherboard,

everything plugged in properly, and I turn it on, but there is no display at all showing on my monitor, via display port or HDMI, and neither on my tv via HDMI,

the computer is on, and I tried opening & closing the cd drive, but I just cant get a display at all to show..

is it because its a new motherboard so HDMI & display port wont work yet till drivers are installed?

Please help I don't know what to do
 
I've got it working now! I just moved the 2 ram sticks into slots 3 & 4 and it booted up into the bios.. and from there it did some windows device updates and its fully working now! for some reason the motherboard doesn't like the RAM in slots 1 & 2?!
 
its a coolermaster evo 212 cooler with a new AM4 bracket, so it has to sit 90degree clockwide as opposed to how it sat on my old intel build, so it does slightly cover the first ram slot, but the ram goes in & out fine?, strange.. but its fine using the RAM in slots 3& 4 right?
 
Yeah I don't know if slot 1 or 2 for the RAM is faulty or something? seems odd they don't work.. yeah the cooler seems to be working fine, is way quiester and temps are like 30c lower than my old i5!

what is warping sorry?

Could try a BIOS update.

Just never use the bundled software Live Update to do it. It is a lot more dangerous. Use M-Flash. Try and avoid Live Update altogether.



The correct way to install Dual Channel memory (so it actually runs in Dual Channel) is either 1/3 or 2/4. The motherboard manual will tell you which is the Primary Channel (usually slots 2 and 4 counting from left to right). If those configurations don't work, then try BIOS update.

Thanks I'm gonna do bios update today, is it easy..whats the process? yeahI thought that too but when I go on the BIOS it seems to be laid out from left to right with 1 &2 next to each other, then slots 3&4 next to each other, tried all configurations and only slots 3 & 4 (next to each other) work

Just something to rule out.

Thanks! gonna try updates and overclocking today
 
I've updated the BIOS now, RAM is only running at 2166mhz, I tried turning on the XMP profile to put it up to 3200mhz but it just won't boot after that, anyway to get the full speed working?

I had a look at the manual. And it contradicts itself on page 26. It shows you the recommended install in slots 2 (DIMM A2) and 4 (DIMM B2) in one diagram, then in another diagram on the same page, it says that Channel A is slots 1 (DIMM A1) and 2 and that Channel B is slots 3 (DIMM B1) and 4.

So I guess 3 and 4 it is lol.

Yeah I know its so odd, I think either the mobo or ram is faulty, am going to return & replace both anyway, as I've been trying with just one stick and it wont work at all in slots 1 and 2, so going to just start from fresh and save future hassle!
 
So I just loosed the CPU cooler, and now the duel channel memory works! it must have been too tight before and was interfering with the 2 RAM slots closest too it
