Any recco’s??

Hi everyone! Can anyone share a link or recommend a store on the Orange app where I can buy a brand-new GPU? Looking for a legit and trusted seller. Thank you! 🙏

Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out a strange GPU/CPU issue with my PC and would appreciate some advice.

My current setup

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
• Previous CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G
• Motherboard: MSI A520M-A PRO
• GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC 2304SP
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz
• Monitor: HKC 24" IPS 120Hz FHD
• Connection: HDMI directly to the GPU

The problem

When I install the Ryzen 5 3400G, my MSI RX 580 displays normally. I connect the HDMI cable directly to the RX 580 and I get a display/Windows normally.

However, when I replace the 3400G with my Ryzen 5 5600, the PC powers on and appears to boot, but I get no display at all from the MSI RX 580.

The strange part is that we tested another RX 580 while the Ryzen 5 5600 was installed.

The other GPU was a Biostar RX 580, and it displayed normally with the Ryzen 5 5600.

So the results are:

• Ryzen 5 3400G + MSI RX 580 → Display ✅
• Ryzen 5 5600 + MSI RX 580 → No display ❌
• Ryzen 5 5600 + Biostar RX 580 → Display ✅

This makes me think the Ryzen 5 5600 and motherboard are working correctly, since another RX 580 works with them.

MSI RX 580 GPU-Z information

I also checked the MSI RX 580 using GPU-Z while the Ryzen 5 3400G was installed:

• GPU: Ellesmere
• Shaders: 2304
• Memory: 8GB GDDR5 Hynix
• Subvendor: MSI
• Device ID: 1002 67DF
• BIOS Version: 015.050.002.001.570000
• UEFI: Yes
• Default Clock: 1320 MHz
• Memory Clock: 2000 MHz
• Resizable BAR: Enabled

GPU-Z initially showed PCIe x16 3.0 @ x8 1.1 at idle, but after running the GPU-Z render test it changed to:

PCIe x16 3.0 @ x8 3.0

So the PCIe connection appears to be working normally.

What I've already considered

I'm wondering if this could be related to:

• MSI RX 580 VBIOS
• UEFI/CSM configuration
• PCIe initialization with the Ryzen 5 5600
• BIOS compatibility/settings
• Something specific to this MSI RX 580 2304SP

Has anyone experienced an RX 580 that works with a Ryzen 5 3400G but gives no display with a Ryzen 5 5600, while another RX 580 works perfectly with the 5600?

Any suggestions for what I should test next would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me troubleshoot a strange issue with my PC.

My system

• Motherboard: MSI A520M-A PRO
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (Brandnew)
• GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 ARMOR 8GB OC (2304SP)
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (2×8GB)
• SSD: Kingston NV3 500GB NVMe
• PSU: MSI 650W Bronze
• Monitor: HKC 24" IPS 120Hz
• Connection: HDMI is plugged directly into the RX 580

The issue

When I install the Ryzen 5 5600, the PC powers on normally—the fans spin, and the keyboard and mouse light up—but I get no display at all.

The important thing is that my motherboard and GPU are confirmed working. When I install my old Ryzen 5 3400G, the exact same setup boots and displays perfectly, with the HDMI still connected directly to the RX 580.

What I've already tried

• Cleared CMOS
• Reseated the CPU, RAM, and GPU
• Booted with minimal hardware
• Upgraded and downgraded the BIOS to multiple versions specifically for Ryzen 5 5600 compatibility
• Tested BIOS versions that officially support the Ryzen 5 5600
• Confirmed the RX 580 works with my Ryzen 5 3400G

Important information

The Ryzen 5 5600 is brand new, and we also tested it on another MSI A520M-A PRO (the exact same motherboard model as mine). It booted and displayed normally on that motherboard.

So the Ryzen 5 5600 itself appears to be working properly.

Current situation

• Ryzen 5 3400G + My MSI A520M-A PRO + RX 580 = WORKS
• Ryzen 5 5600 + Another MSI A520M-A PRO + RX 580 = WORKS
• Ryzen 5 5600 + My MSI A520M-A PRO + RX 580 = NO DISPLAY

Since I've already tried multiple BIOS versions, including both upgrading and downgrading, I'm starting to think this may not be a BIOS compatibility issue.

Could there be a motherboard-specific setting, BIOS configuration, socket/pin issue, or hardware fault that prevents my particular MSI A520M-A PRO from booting with the Ryzen 5 5600?

What would you recommend I check next?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
