You just saved my life, replaced my Ryzen 5 with my Ryzen 7 and my pc would not boot up all the way. Never realized I needed to update bios before hand. You just saved me some more thermal paste due to how many times I kept taking my cpu out and back in🤣
@@sleepingmoon6649 once I realized I had to update bios before installing the new one, I reinstalled my old cpu, then entered my BIOS settings, then installed my new cpu again, sorry for the long waited response I honestly didn’t see any reply to this comment until now
@@zakaridobrzynski9477 you can look at the specs for your motherboard. It should work. but on the manufacture website look at what bios you need to run it so you can upgrade it before you swap.
Yeah followed all steps updated my bios right motherboard update and all went to bios saw that the new cpu was in when I went to save and exit it would show blue face or just freeze in the loading screen what do I do?
So I just bought the amd ryzen 5600g and it would not boot up could I do the bios update with the CPU already in or should I put my old one in and update it and then put my new one back in?
Yo I just recently tried to upgrade from a ryzen 5 1600 to a ryzen 5 5600x but I couldn’t find the bios update before hand so I just put it in but now my shi just goes to a black screen and im ngl my old processor broke in the process am I cooked or is there something I can do to fix this
No it won’t. It just makes it compatible with newer ones. It won’t drop the older CPUs. But it won’t accept CPUs not meant for that socket. So make sure it’s the same socket type
@@jtravaglini how do i know its the same socket. i have a 8300 sff that came with a i5-3470 and i had bought a i7-2600, and when i had put it in i didnt update anything just replaced it and my fps was dropped alot. is this because i didnt update my bios? or is it casue its not the same socket?
@@exe__anthony4748 i7 is a lga1155 socket and the i5 3470 is a fclga1155 socket. If it’s posted though and working I’d assume it relates to the cpu performance and optimization
Gotta question.just upgraded from Ryzen 5 5600 to Ryzen 7 5700x3D a couple days ago everything went well I can still play games my bios recognized the new processor am I able to update my bios drivers I sold my old cpu just today😅.
If i don’t update the BIOS does the motherboard not accept the new cpu? because my pc won’t show anything with the new cpu, but works fine with the older one
@@jtravagliniplease help. I tried updating my i5-9500 to an i7-9700K and it never booted after the upgrade. I then put in the old CPU again and tried updating the bios using the method you did but it says that I have the latest bios update installed. What else can I do to get it to work?
okay so a i have ryzen 5 2600… i wanna go to a ryzen 5 5500 but i know ill need to update my bios, my motherboard wont accept it. Is it possible to update my bios first then change the cpu? my friends are telling me i can’t
@@giovanniantrim6154 i was told for some reason that i needed to put the bios on a usb drive , do the cpu then load it on.. i was praying you could just get the bios first installed then do the cpu
It should stay. Your windows may deactivate. I’ve also ran in to issues where I needed to reformat. But that’s not to common. It’s always a good idea to back everything up just in case.

thanks now i know to update the bios before installing the cpu
Thank you 3 years later still saved me
Thanks Gonna be installing my new i5 11400f and needed this video
No problem. Make sure to update the bios before installing the new cpu with a compatible bios.
@@jtravagliniidk if you’ll answer this but should this proses work with upgrading from a ryzen 5 1600 to a ryzen 9 5900x?

Really appreciate it 🙏
Awesome vid man, thanks for the help. Curious, was that original cpu cooler strong enough for the new CPU? Or has there been any thermal issues since?
😍
I5 6500 supports 0203 bios version and the proccesor i have right now has te same version so i dont have to update it?
How does bios know what to update on? Your new cpu isnt installed yet? Maybe you went too fast for me?
It updates to the latest version possible
I’m about to install my new cpu and motherboard do I update bios before I do it on my old cpu then change it over
Love it thanks.
I can’t get into BIOS. I can get it into UEFI and click on BIOS from there, but then it just goes to a black screen and never actually boots to BIOS.
So I just bought the amd ryzen 5600g and it would not boot up could I do the bios update with the CPU already in or should I put my old one in and update it and then put my new one back in?

my motherboard support 6th and 7th gen intel lga 1151 iwant to upgrade to 8th gen is that possible?
Mine never rebooted after the update and m&k have no power and I’m getting nothing on my monitor
what happens if i did this after i installed a new cpu?
Hello bro will updating bios for a new cpu does make the motherboard incompatible with older cpu series?

Most likely you need a bios update. It doesn’t know how to recognize the Cpu.

@@kentwyngaard8803check your motherboard version and the compatibility with the cpu u upgrading to..

Looked through all my bios and windows settings and it recognizes it but I didn’t have to update the bios
Wait can I update the BIOS with just having the Ethernet board connected to it and getting the BIOS?
Some boards with the Ethernet plugged in you can go in the bios and update it. Some you need to download it prior to it
do i need to backup anything before i do this or will everything stay when i swap cpus
It should stay. Your windows may deactivate. I’ve also ran in to issues where I needed to reformat. But that’s not to common. It’s always a good idea to back everything up just in case.
does this work the same for the amd? because I wanna upgrade my cpu from a ryzen 7 2900x to a ryzen 9 5900x
did you find out how? im upgrading to a 9 5900x
It should I’m gonna do this tomorrow, going from 2700 to 5900
My bios doesn't look like yours at all? Do I click on a different key instesd of delete?
not all bios look the same and not all brands use the same key to get in to it. you may need to check your owners manual or google search your board
The tool ez flash utility doesn’t pop up for me
Do i need to do this when changing both the CPU and the motherboard?
No you shouldn’t have to as long as you didn’t buy a used older motherboard. If it’s all new it should be compatible
good video
What happen if i don’t update the bios
Thank you for help,no hate but please clean up ur desk.
My desk is even worse now with computer parts. It’s a work bench I use in my basement. Every time I clean it I accrue more stuff. I need to just trash stuff and start from scratch
@@jtravaglini well that makes sence i tought that was ur main desktop.

You may need to either clear the cmos or reinstall the old cpu to update the bios.

You can't change cpu. It will never boot afterward.
