#TFW you just finished building your own PC and turning it on for the first time.

And the display stays black. No beeping warning sign or anything.

Anyone recently build an AMD Ryzen 3 220G CPU System and ran into similar problems? Mainboard is an ASUS Prime B350 - PLUS.

I probably found a possible solution for my new home server problem.

Why does my new AMD Ryzen 2200 G CPU not boot on my ASUS motherboard?

Because. asus.com/support/FAQ/1035627#

Good thing I do have a AMD Ryzen 1700 in my own new computer. The home server is for a family member. Now all I need is to switch processors, update BIOS and then switch back. It's 2018.

@luricaun This is an annoying, but known, problem -- motherboards that don't say "Ryzen G-Series Ready" will require a BIOS update. Some have that functionality built-in (and don't require a processor), but most lower end ones don't. AMD has a program where they'll send you a low end bristol ridge APU if you'd rather not go through the hassle of disassembling your personal machine and have the time to wait for shipping.

This is the down-side of not requiring new boards per generation/line.
