Ryzen 9800X3D NO POST on B650 Motherboards

 

Ryzen 9800X3D NO POST on B650 Boards:

What You Need to Know

Upgrading to the new AMD Ryzen 9000-series is exciting; especially the 9800X3D, which promises top-tier gaming performance thanks to its stacked 3D V-Cache technology. But over the past few months, a trend has emerged: a noticeable number of these chips simply refuse to POST, even on fully compatible AM5 motherboards.

If you’ve dropped a 9800X3D into a B650 board and you’re staring at yellow + red debug LEDs (CPU + DRAM) with zero video output, you’re not alone. This article breaks down what’s going on, what’s not the problem, and whether switching to a 7800X3D or another CPU might save you a ton of trouble.

Server USB Boot & RAID Controller Access

Server Boot Methods:

USB Boot and RAID Controller Access

When working with servers, especially during initial setup or maintenance, you'll frequently need to boot from USB devices and access RAID controller configurations. This guide tries to help cover the essential methods for both operations across different server platforms.

Gigabyte Motherboard BIOS Restore/Repair

If your Gigabyte Motherboard BIOS becomes corrupt or damaged, and the board has a "Dual BIOS", you can use one of the methods below to restore/switch from your damaged/corrupted BIOS over to the other/working BIOS.

Method 1:

1. Shut off your computer
2. Hold the power button until your computer starts and shuts down again
3. Press the power button again, your backup BIOS might now be loaded and the system may POST.

Method 2:

1. Shut off your computer
2. Hold power AND the reset button for about 10 sec, then release.
3. If this method works, your system will now boot into the backup BIOS now.

Method 3:

Only use this method if nothing else has worked!!! You could potentially permanently damage your motherboard when attempting this last method!

1. Make sure you have a speaker built into your motherboard, or you have one attached to your motherboard's front panel connection header.
2. You can short out pins 1 and 6 on the main BIOS chip by attaching a jumper to both pins (Pin #1 of the chip should be marked with a dot).
3. As you short the pins, press the power button while you are still holding the jumper on the pins. You might want to have a friend help with this process so you don't accidentally short any other pins on the BIOS chip.
4. Remove the jumper you're holding between pins 1 and 6 when you hear the POST beep.
5. The backup BIOS should now be loaded and the system should POST.

Once you get the system up and running again, re-flash the other BIOS so you have yet another, alternative working BIOS.
