My Ryzen 5 2600x is not posting.

I have it in a Biostarb350gt5 mobo, with corsair h100i liquid cooling, geil evo potenzo 2x8gb 2133mhz ram, pny 1050ti, corsair 750w power supply, pny 250gb ssd, wd 1tb hdd.

I have tried a new powersupply and new ram. The board correctly error-codes when no ram is plugged in. Suggestions? Also, if needed I can give specific part numbers.

(BIOS version B35AG417.BBS   AGESA Pinnacle PI 1.0.0.2a update  2018-04-17)

Biostar cpu support page says to update bios first before installing the new ryzen 2, if you couldn't then read,

I saw that I was supposed to update the bios but I assumed I would be able to do that after post? How would I go about doing an update for it without my current hardware setup?

This is the link from AMD Support on how to get a AMD BOOT KIT to be able to update your BIOS on your motherboard so that it will recognize and be compatible with Ryzen 2xxx series CPU/APU: Unable to Boot New Desktop System Configured with AMD 2nd Generation Ryzen™ Desktop Processor, and A...​.

If none of the work arounds work for you, here is the link to AMD RMA REQUEST to get the AMD BOOT KIT ; https://support.amd.com/en-us/warranty/rma .

This link is provided in the first link that I posted.

Thank you, I will try the boot kit because the other workarounds are not available to me. Hopefully this will work!
