Increased my CPU settings but the computer still won't start.
Hello, your new Ryzen 7 7500X is having boot issues even though the LED lights up. You've updated the BIOS and tried clearing CMOS—what else can you try? Make sure the power supply is solid (Corsair 650W 80+ bronze works), check for any loose connections, verify RAM is properly seated, and ensure the CPU is recognized by testing it in another system if possible. Also, confirm the motherboard BIOS version matches your hardware specs.
It appears the screen is blank and the system isn't starting. This might mean the CPU doesn't match your BIOS version, so try using the old CPU and update your BIOS to the newest release. But if you've already updated your BIOS before, there could be another issue.
Return the previous version, confirm the BIOS is up to date, and then reinstall it.
