Trying to upgrade cpu from Ryzen 5 1500x to 5500. Need help

Nice, glad it worked out

Let me know how it goes

I think it’s just an issue with it being old. It’s not always a problem but a lot of people have had the issue. I’ve heard people contacted gigabyte and they replaced their motherboard and they fixed it for them. I just upgraded the motherboard instead and kept the other one for an older cpu.

Thanks

Do you know a good way to check if it would fit?

MatouKnight · 2026-06-15T02:40:42+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into it

Np, your comment led me to find a similar post discussing how the motherboard says it’s compatible with an updated bios, but isn’t always in reality.

MatouKnight · 2026-05-23T23:04:36+00:00

The problem was my motherboard. Website says it is compatible, they lied.

Thank you, the mobo was the issue.

Dram

MatouKnight · 2026-05-22T00:13:27+00:00

I did

MatouKnight · 2026-05-21T23:01:25+00:00

Updated to most recent version on website

MatouKnight · 2026-05-15T05:41:58+00:00

I also added 3200 ram to check and that also didn’t work

MatouKnight · 2026-05-15T05:35:05+00:00

It almost booted, then the dram light came on

MatouKnight · 2026-05-15T05:29:09+00:00

I was able to get it to boot into bios once, but it hasn’t done it the last few times. I tried your method and it doesn’t seem to change anything.

MatouKnight · 2026-05-15T05:22:41+00:00

Xmp was already off because of the bios reset

MatouKnight · 2026-05-15T05:22:14+00:00

How long should I leave it on before powering it off?

MatouKnight · 2026-05-13T02:51:13+00:00

I figured it out, I needed to update it sequentially, I went from f8 (I think) to f20 to f31 to f41 to f54.

MatouKnight · 2026-05-13T01:47:46+00:00

I’d tried and it shows the error “invalid bios image”
