Hey there! I just received my upgrade kit today—Asus ROG Strix B550-A with 32GB GSKILL 3200 memory and 5600X. I assembled everything and turned it on, but I’m seeing no display. Everything spins up except the GPU fans which stop after a few seconds. The QLED lights are cycling: they pause for 2 seconds on the DRAM, 1 second on the CPU, then 1 second on the GPU, repeating. I’ve looked into possible causes but haven’t found anything specific. I’ve checked all connections, re-seated everything, and still can’t figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Use your old RAM, then disconnect the BIOS CMOS battery.

Worked on an old RAM with a single slot and a dual slot. Removed the CMOS and still had no success. Further testing with two different GPUs all started up but then failed. Also tried using built-in graphics, but nothing worked.

It might be the motherboard that's the issue, not the CPU.

I took out my second NVMe storage and now I see a solid CPU indicator, which is a good beginning.

No, I haven't updated the bios yet before installing the new CPU.

What power supply you're using seems to be the problem. It's not just about checking the connections anymore—it's time to disassemble everything and rebuild it from scratch.

Requires BIOS version 1004 or higher; possible issue is BIOS version.

Check the BIOS setup options carefully and ensure all connections are secure. If it still doesn’t load, try resetting the motherboard or consulting the manufacturer’s support resources.

I refreshed the setup and verified every PSU connection—it's a 750-watt superflower PSU.
