I've recently bought a new PC. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and was planning to get a B550 motherboard but the store only has B450M-Pro II available so I didn't really have a choice.
After I assembled the PC, I've plugged in my bootable USB drive to start installing Windows 10; I got the error "Unsupported Processor" BSoD error right after Windows pops up for the initial installation. I thought that it might just need a BIOS update.
I've updated the BIOS to the latest version but still got the same error and thought, that's strange, the website indicates that the motherboard does support the CPU and I have already updated the BIOS to the latest version.
I've tried reinstalling the bootable drive using media creation tool and creating bootable USB using rufus but still got the same error. Website
I've already tried resetting the BIOS to it's default settings, reseated the CMOS battery,
swapped the RAM slots,
tried installing Windows 11 but I still keep getting the same error.
tried installing using just 1 ram stick still the same error.
I've ran out of ideas already and I don't know what to do anymore.
*UPDATE: I was able to successfully install Linux Mint without any issues. Do I need to change something from the BIOS settings for me to install Windows OS?
*I've also tried changing some BIOS settings like changing the TPM versions and still got the same error.
- also tried using a different USB drive for the installer but still the same issue
