I understand I had updated the BIOS version earlier and this worked before. Possibly I misplaced the M2 drive during removal. This seems likely to be the cause, since I wasn't certain where the boot drive was located. The M2 500gb drive was the boot drive, while the other was a TB. After removing both the M2 TB and the HDD, I didn’t test the system for a few weeks, thinking it would just start up. Lol @ me.

MSI X570 Mag Wife
5900x
32gb ram
500gb M2 boot drive
750 PSU Bronze (brand uncertain)
I replaced the battery even though I installed a new one, but the CPU won’t run now. I see a white MOBO error. It might mean I need to flash it again with a newer BIOS for compatibility.

The system takes me to the BIOS and shows the CPU as inactive, while the GPU lights up, but the CPU status is not displayed. I’m using a TV with a monitor, though I’m unsure if that affects this setup. I’ve tried removing the GPU and reinserting it, but when I remove the GPU the TV doesn’t recognize anything, even after taking out all RAM except one stick. Maybe I should try a different PSU. Thanks for your help.

750 PSU Bronze (brand identification may require further research)
Check the side panels on the case for any sticker information about the PSU.

Is this your motherboard? You can activate the Flash BIOS Button on the back of your motherboard, following the instructions in your manual;

page 46.
This may assist in bringing the board or platform back to life.

I'm considering updated bios for this model and hoping to flash it. Thanks.
Latest bios version e7c84ams.1fo.
Estimated next steps are 10-12-23.
Possible next move is testing another PSU.
Just realized I have a 1060 3gb and plan to install that later tonight.
Experimented with various PSUs but same problem persists.
GPU changes didn't help; CPU reseating might be necessary.

It seems like your mainboard might be failing, and even switching the CPU didn't help.
