MSI A520M-A motherboard paired with a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU and an RX 580 GPU. Experiencing issues after upgrading from Ryzen 5 2600 to 5600. PC fails to start, VGA light remains active. BIOS update didn't resolve the problem. All components seem working properly. Need assistance.

I'm having this problem when I change from ryzen 5 2600 to 5 5600.
You're advised to update the BIOS with the older processor, clear the CMOS and then drop the latter processor onto the socket.
