Help! My GPU Isn't Recognized After Upgrading to Ryzen 7 5700X3D

-

I just upgraded from a Ryzen 5 5500 to a Ryzen 7 5700X3D. I struggled to get the heatsink back on, so I took my PC to a shop for help. When I got it home, my computer recognizes the new CPU, but it doesn’t seem to recognize my GPU anymore. What should I do to fix this?

It’s kind of weird that your PC recognizes the new CPU but not the GPU. Are you sure the GPU is seated properly in the PCIe slot? Sometimes, they can get loose during installation or transport. Also, did you check if you need to update your motherboard’s BIOS since you swapped CPUs? That’s a common step people overlook!

Yep, the Ryzen CPUs don’t have integrated graphics, so if your GPU isn’t recognized, it can be tough to troubleshoot. If your motherboard has a new BIOS version, updating it might help. Just make sure everything’s connected and try reseating the GPU. If all else fails, double-check the power connections to the GPU.
