updating the BIOS to version 7C56vAC (the latest available), downgrading from 7C56vAC to 7C56vA9 if it worked initially, clearing CMOS by jumping JBAT1 pins and then updating to 7C56vA9, removing the battery to reset CMOS, putting the battery back in, reseating the GPU, NVME drive, and RAM, and booting without using the keyboard or mouse. Nothing has resolved the issue. My system specs are: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X at 3.7 GHz, 6-core processor, MSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 motherboard, ASRock Challenger D Radeon RX 6600 graphics card, 8 GB video card, Kingston NV2 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD, Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2x16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 memory. I also wiped and formatted the USB drive used for BIOS updates on my MacBook Pro, placing only the BIOS file in the USB and renaming it to MSI.ROM with all extensions. I don’t have access to a Windows machine. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Oh no! The GPU is connected to the incorrect PCI-e slot. Make sure you verify the ports carefully.
