Just a heads-up: I feel like folks are missing the part where I mention that this build is almost entirely _brand new,_ save the case: 0:19. No, Origin did NOT ship this system with an incompatible BIOS. The system that was originally in here was removed :-)
You would've 100% ripped into them if they had shipped a new build with wrong bios because that would mean zero testing before the sale. I thought it was fairly clearly a used case
The amazon return policy for computer components and other "tech" products is - 30 days - not the 14 days that you incorrectly stated in this video. Amazon shows the - return window - date for each and every product on the amazon orders page, which eliminates any doubt about the 30 day return policy.
I think we should vote you as HUMAN of the year. Honestly helping others with things that aren't easy to do or cheap to do, it's just awesome to see. Keep it up Greg!
The cable management also helps when he will install a GPU, I imagine it would take up a large chuck on the space where the cables where all bundles up before you tidied it all up!
You're right but does that take time,even in a large case,you have to be so careful with hands,every motion has to be controlled like a monk! You can very easily slip with a simple screwdriver and possibly damage something,and worse when the things flat on the table! The smaller case makes it difficult. Plus I suggest wearing a head light to see in the dark areas of any case🕯️😌
@@swinnburn nah you can be rough with pcs as long as everything is connected you see huge channels throwing motherboards around trying to install things definitely feels like it's extremely fragile
This has become my favorite series on TH-cam. Great work Greg. Not only does it help those whose computer you're fixing, but it also gives the casual PC owner a lot of insight on how to troubleshoot issues.
This series made me a PC technician 😂 My friends go to me for pc troubleshooting and this series definitely gave me the necessary troubleshooting knowledge. Big thanks!
BIOS flashback should really be a staple in all modern boards. recently just built a 5600g system myself and the A520 ITX board I got had it - i was prepared to swap CPU's as I had a system with a 3700x when i bought it, but BIOS flashback saved all that effort. Wasn't even an expensive board. It was $100 - which is cheap for ITX's.
Honestly, I've legit recommended bios flashback to all of my friends. It saved my ass when msi dragon Centre corrupted my bios when I accidentally clicked on the advanced updater (updates bios from inside dragon centre). Since then I think they've fixed it from auto downloading and installing, was still scary since I was my first proper pc build, and didn't realise what advanced update meant.
Actually, if you think about it, it's not a simple fix considering he had to use an older generation cpu and a gpu in order to update the bios. It's the reason the builder had to have Greg fix it, he probably didn't have an older cpu and gpu to do so.
YESSS!!! My uncle recently built my son a PC using an older AMD board with that same card and we were having the same issue. This just saved me such a headache!!
Literally just had this problem when I jumped from a 3000 series to a 5000 series on an X570 board. Thank god for CMOS clear and Bios Flashback buttons!
Nice work Greg! What a simple fix that in practice can be crippling, because the fix requires another CPU! This is why I typically recommend to first time builders to get boards with BIOS Flashback, especially with AMD systems, because of the need to upgrade to newer AGESA versions. It gives you a way to attempt to fix a bad flash. This
Greg, a shout out and big thanks from the senior (age-wise) PC community: I have loved working with PC hardware (building, troubleshooting and upgrading) since the early 1990s. Like you, I prefer not to deal with software issues (though I have had to many times). Unlike you, I haven't been a gamer since 2d side scrollers were the thing, but I still appreciate gaming hardware for its complexity and innovation. Loving to solve hardware-related puzzles, I really appreciate this series and add my vote to keep it going. I really like it that you admit when you are not familiar with something or mess up as I have spent a lot of time doing trying to hide it when I have! I watch a lot of PC tech channels and appreciate the knowledge and skill of all of you "youngsters" and still learn a lot. I really haven't done much building since my (ancient) 4790K, so I depend on folks like you to help keep me up-to-date with current components that I, unfortunately, do not get to use. Thanks so much for doing these! I can't wait for more.
I’ve been a subscriber for a long while now, before 400,000 subscribers. Glad to see your channel have pretty rapid growth as of late! You’ve always produced quality content in my opinion.
Greg...if this series helps anyone at home with troubleshooting their own builds it's been worth it all. I mean you are making things easy to understand and when doing the fix you're also showing what your doing for the fix. Keep this series going...even as a seasoned PC enthusiast I'm still learning from these videos.
I recently bought this same board. I installed a R3 3200G and it worked fine. I was able to update the BIOS to 1.80 with this same CPU and I still use that CPU after. No issues. Might be worth checking out
To me you're like a godsend! not only are you very concise, but your explanations are very easy to understand. I like knowing how to figure out what's wrong and what to do, and this channel is a nice and relaxing way for me to sit back and learn diagnostics. Keep up the amazing work my man!
so i know greg is probably not gonna see this or probably will but genuinely hes a nice person doing this for people and doing the most to help people and their systems. i love what hes doing and much love from calgary. i built my first pc and had no clue what i was doing i slaped some parts from my prebuilt from bestbuy on to my new self built pc. i collect EI which is government money because i cant find a job but in that case i saved up to be able to continue my dream pc build. parts now are hard to find which sucks but im still finding ways to get them. but in all love the content greg keep up the good work
will we get more fix or flops I actually enjoy watching these been teaching me what to look for and how to put together a pc, this series has actually made me want to build a pc and I'm so excited when my parts come in to put it all together!
then you should not be a technician lol, you should should every repair or trouble shoot route already , your no technician pal, self proclaimed maybe or your just saying it to get attention and a like of this guy, "notice me my life is empty", sry but its one or the other,
Nicely done! It's really problem if you don't have another hardware at home to do anything. Hopefully owner of a system loads XMP profiles! World is thankful to have you Greg!
Only just discovered your channel a few days ago, since I’ve been browsing for a gaming PC (always been a console player)been watching since! amazing content! Keep up the great work. Amazing what you do for people and your subscribers! Glad to have subbed.
I always can't wait until a new cleaning or fixing pc video comes out. I'm a newer viewer of your channel but I learned a lot of troubleshooting methods for issues with these videos and you seem like a really cool and chill dude. It's awesome you do these things for the pc community, you a real one! :)
It is always fun to diagnose and solve a problem we have once experience and found the solution to. Twinkle in the eye and the grin on his face when he explains 2:29 about the issue with system shows that he is having fun. Great Job! P.S. Subscribed at 16:24. Have fun ~
Fantastic learning experience! Thanks for keeping all the diagnostic steps in the video (even if they were not immediately correct). Loved to see your process and to learn from it.
Bro as an IT support technician I felt that POST on the first boot up took forever! I was rooting it would as well. Thanks for making some great content and sharing with all of us.
Man, BIOS update almost made me cry. I recently updated my PC build from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 7 5700G, it took me a long time to learn about the BIOS update necessity and a little longer to work out other things I didn't know. I kinda hope stuff like this in general is made a bit more common knowledge as PC building gets more popular. Doing a fantastic job teaching people with this series, I've been binging it for a while!
I just found this series and channel the other day and am addicted to it. Please keep them coming. And I saw you on Taverish channel saying your a car guy also and thought you should make a video on your car or cars. Id love to see what a fellow nerd drives.
Very cool of you to manage the cables for him! Great job on that, even if he can’t see it all the time, knowing you got a nice organized interior is still somewhat comforting :p
Just saw you were a rajin’ cajun! I am in my senior year at LSU in CS for software engineering. Just wanted to say I love the channel and hoped you enjoyed your time in the boot (even though I kind of can’t wait to start moving around).
I had the same issue with a tuf gaming b450 and your bios update Video helped me get thru it... The only issues I had was with the thumb drives I had were not compatible until I pulled out my usb3.0 onn thumb drive.. It worked perfectly! Thank you for all your help!
Love this videos. I have to play tech support for our company as well as my family and you seem to have much the same thought process I do on each of these fix vids
Great work Greg! I would have assumed also that the latest BIOS/UEFI updates would have covered CPU's that were either 5000x or 5000G as well. I'll look more carefully at these updates in the future now thanks to your video!
WOW Loved this Vid. I was Planning on getting a AMD Ryzen but your vid has given me a lot to think about. Love your Vids. I wish I lived near Orlando Florida so that I could send you my old PC for a tune up. LOL.
You brought to light an interesting thing hobbists--old, new, or in between--NEED to have an 'el cheapo' discreet graphics card in their tool bags. The amount of time saved troubleshooting is worth the investment alone. Often computer TH-camrs will ask about some cheap video card, "Why does this even exist?" Well, now you know. Great job, Greg.
I have this board and flashed the 1.73 beta bios with my 3400G and it works fine. The bios chips on almost every B550 board is 256Mb (32MB) which is twice the size of prior generations of AM4 boards, so there is plenty of room for CPU support. I will test it with the 1.80 bios and 3400G when I get a chance. Thanks for the video!
Very informative Greg, love it, Oh and I just remember one thing, my local asrock distributor told me that to update asrock motherboard bios we need to update it one version above it one by one, so we can't jump to latest bios version, well he said we can but sometimes it can make some issues in the future.
Oh, wow I didn't know that you only have 14 days to get your money back even in case something isn't working correctly. Here in Germany, if something breaks within 2 years, you have a right to have your money back (though after 6 months you must show, that the fault already existed when you bought the item - before that, the seller has to prove the item was completely fine when bought). When shopping Online, you can return the items for any reason (with some exceptions, like open food containers, software licenses, Audio/Video BluRay/DVD/etc) in the first 14 days.
That was my first thought, BIOS. But If I had a 3300 laying around I would of tried that without thinking about it ending support and bricking the motherboard. I might of caught it with the BIOS descriptions but there would of been a change that I miss it. Thank you for the heads up in looking at all factors.
Hello Greg!! I did exactly like you but for a friend. I built he’s pc and it did not boot and I did a research about his motherboard and it did not come out off box compatible! So I grabbed my r5 1600 at home dropped it in he’s pc and booted right up. We installed windows and used a usb flashdrive to flash to the newest bios update. Then when it had done the update we put the r5 5600g in his pc and it booted right up! Works perfect! So I learned some new stuff like flashing bios and updating stuff without youtube help!!
great tip is that pc part picker will actually let you know of motherboards and cpus that do this let alone other incompatibilities its why running your parts list through pc partpicker is an amazing rule of thumb
Whoa good thing the 3400G worked initially on this B550 board. Most B550 boards I see (including my Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite) specifically stated on the box that it is not compatible with 3200G and 3400G. Bios of my board was also on a "1.0" version since the issue I encountered was RAM incompatibility resulting to no post no display too (tested another RAM and it worked). Updating the bios resolved the RAM issue.
This guys should be so thankful you did this. Last Christmas I got a ASUS TUF gaming board to go with my ryzen 9 5900X. The support from amd and asus was brutal, asus was useless said they could flash my BIOS all the did was send me a new board which didn’t fix anything. 2 months later I got a boot kit from AMD but not being able to use my Christmas gift was so frustrating.
Thank you so much for this video Greg! Just built my first PC with a 5600G and had the same issue. Without watching this, I'd probably be swapping cables and displays.
Great video, love the kid cameo too. Sounds like a simple fix but gets complicated and expensive if you have to order another CPU just to fix it. I'm hoping that AMD is really thinking forward with AM5 and has a bigger BIOS chip.
I built my first AMD (5-3600), in Gigabyte Aurous X570.. everything was connected perfectly - but no post. I got that bad sinking feeling.. the online and the box said "compatable out of the box". It was not. I downloaded BIOS on the other computer, and flashed it. Luckily the X570 has the USB slot for BIOS and the "update button" on the board. Still, pretty unnerving, since doing it wrong could brick it. Nice video. I would have liked to see you include the actual flash process, not just "well I did it". I really enjoy your troubleshooting videos.
We already have a detailed video discussing this process, so it'd be quite redundant (we even referenced it in this video and mentioned that it was in this description Lol).

Great one this time Greg, I love this series!
That’s the same issue I had when I got my 5800, had to use my 3600 to update my Bios….love your videos keep it going.
Fix or Flop series is best series! Keep it up greg!
Whoa good thing the 3400G worked initially on this B550 board. Most B550 boards I see (including my Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite) specifically stated on the box that it is not compatible with 3200G and 3400G. Bios of my board was also on a "1.0" version since the issue I encountered was RAM incompatibility resulting to no post no display too (tested another RAM and it worked). Updating the bios resolved the RAM issue.
This guys should be so thankful you did this. Last Christmas I got a ASUS TUF gaming board to go with my ryzen 9 5900X. The support from amd and asus was brutal, asus was useless said they could flash my BIOS all the did was send me a new board which didn’t fix anything. 2 months later I got a boot kit from AMD but not being able to use my Christmas gift was so frustrating.
amazing series always waiting for the next
That Ohhhh Yeahh! at 12:29 is just great
I love this series!! Soon as I see the notification I watch.
Dude, I really love this man!
Going through these to see which ones I've missed or skipped. So far this is the 3rd one.
thanks for showing the perfect use case for the GT710. anyone that troubleshoots PCs should keep one to hand.
some people just need to check things first, but thats why we have you to remind people how to do this correctly.
I remember encountering this on my B550 when I upgraded from the 1600 to 5600X.
Thank goodness I had my 1600 to help with that.
Wish there was someone like you in the UK to figure out my issue
Thank you so much for this video Greg! Just built my first PC with a 5600G and had the same issue. Without watching this, I'd probably be swapping cables and displays.
Great job! Look forward to more of these.
Great video, love the kid cameo too. Sounds like a simple fix but gets complicated and expensive if you have to order another CPU just to fix it. I'm hoping that AMD is really thinking forward with AM5 and has a bigger BIOS chip.
Amazing video mate good job fixing it 👍
These videos are informative, I love them. Keep it up :)
That was a nerve-wrackingly long time for the new bios boot. Good job!
it was tense. I felt with you.
I built my first AMD (5-3600), in Gigabyte Aurous X570.. everything was connected perfectly - but no post. I got that bad sinking feeling.. the online and the box said "compatable out of the box". It was not. I downloaded BIOS on the other computer, and flashed it. Luckily the X570 has the USB slot for BIOS and the "update button" on the board. Still, pretty unnerving, since doing it wrong could brick it. Nice video. I would have liked to see you include the actual flash process, not just "well I did it". I really enjoy your troubleshooting videos.
We already have a detailed video discussing this process, so it'd be quite redundant (we even referenced it in this video and mentioned that it was in this description Lol).
@@GregSalazar Thank you and I missed it new to your channel so I'll go look
