I assembled a PC, connected everything, and right after changing the power supply, the PSU began making clicking sounds. The motherboard and CPU cooler started blinking, the coolers spun, and the EZ DEBUG LED lit up white. I inspected all cables, thinking everything was okay. Then I took out one RAM stick and the GPU, and the same issue continued.

Are you considering a quick update or a continuous process? Even a small change might reveal an outdated motherboard with BIOS unsupported for the Ryzen 5000 series. It seems like the MSI debug light on the CPU indicates it isn't detected or failing, possibly because of a mismatch between the BIOS and the CPU. In short, the BIOS/MC doesn’t recognize the CPU since it wasn’t added to the supported list.

Occasionally RAM issues pop up, but a straightforward removal can solve them. If the motherboard is used, you might also take out the battery to reset the BIOS. It’s hard to tell what someone else did in the past.

Your CPU or socket issue might affect your motherboard. Have you got an alternative AM4 chip to test? Also, check that your CPU power cable is securely attached.

It might seem silly, but placing an AMD CPU incorrectly is actually quite simple. Have you verified it? Also, make sure there are no damaged or bent pins on the chip.
