I own a PC setup with a GA-A320M-H and a 3600Hz clock, but I purchased a 5600Hz model without checking the motherboard's specifications. After installing it and failing to boot, I swapped the components again, yet the screen remains black.

Ensure no damage to the pins on either CPU and verify that all power cables are correctly positioned.

I've confirmed everything is intact and all connections are secure.

Disable the CMOS by removing the small coin cell battery for five minutes. After powering up with the 3600X, upgrade your BIOS to versions F32 and then F55. The 5000 series processors should function correctly now.
